　　Now Playing: Doctor Who Explained

　　This will also be showrunner Chris Chibnall's second season of Doctor Who. It had been rumoured that Chibnall would be leaving the show after this season, but in a recent interview, he confirmed this wasn't the case. "Please write this verbatim--somebody made that up, it was a lie," he told the Radio Times. "It's 100% grade-A… shall I say nonsense, or shall I say bulls***? I don't know how many times to say it. I swear on my life."

　　The very first season of Doctor Who premiered back in 1963 and ran for 25 years before going on an extended hiatus in 1989. There was an failed attempt to bring it back with an American-produced TV movie in 1994, and the series was properly rebooted in 2005 with Christopher Eccleston in the lead role.
