Respect for Chris Chibnall: a thread πŸ™ŒπŸ’™

I think Chibnall has been a great showrunner over the last 5 years. Here are 5 reasons why!

#DoctorWho
Chibnall just gets Doctor Who. He respects the cannon but understands that it needs to be stretched and explored in order to constantly reinvent. He’s reinstated mystery into the show whilst staying true to its roots.

#DoctorWho
Every character in the Chibnall era just *feels* different. They feel like they’ve been written by different people. Every companion and reoccurring character has felt distinct and have been explored in subtle but powerful ways. Here are some of my favourite!

#DoctorWho
Chibnall is a true ambassador for the show. He doesn’t like the limelight but understands the role that Doctor Who plays in British culture. My favourite example is during one of UK’s darkest hours, he knew we needed The Doctor.

#DoctorWho
Yes, Chibnall has been secretive, and the radio silence has felt frustrating at times. But it led to some of my favourite surprises I’ve had watching Doctor Who. His ability to prevent spoilers & leaks getting into the mainstream is no mean feat in 2022!

#DoctorWho
And finally, Chibnall understands The Doctor. He cast the first ever female Doctor, and one of the most talented actresses on TV. The 13th Doctor has shown the entire range. She’s been a hero for a new generation of Whovians and a wonderful ambassador for the show.

#DoctorWho
The Chibnall era has been so much more powerful than its often given credit. We can all love different aspects of the show (for what it’s worth, Capaldi’s era remains my favourite). I’m so excited for RTD2, but Chibnall has left a legacy.
So with that in mind, if you disagree, please, PLEASE don’t feel inclined to criticise me. I love you and I respect your opinion. I truly hope there are other eras of the show that you love and enjoy. And I hope you are excited for the future of the show! πŸ’™

#DoctorWho
@HolmanRay is there any way we can get this thread to Chris Chibnall? So much love flooding in. We love him! πŸ’™
