Doctor Who: Radio Free Skaro

We at Radio Free Skaro have rarely been keen to spread plot spoilers for upcoming episodes of Doctor Who (apart from that brief time a few months ago when Spoilor went on a rampage), but we’re always interested to see who the key people are behind the production of the show. With production of Series 5/1/31 (or, if you look at this non-spoiler, recent filming pic, it is officially known as Series 1) well underway, tiny details have come to light regarding the identity of the various writers and directors who will bring Matt Smith’s debut series as The Doctor to life. A lengthier confab, including supposition and discussion beyond what can currently be confirmed, is available in Radio Free Skaro Episode #161.

Here’s what we can confirm so far:

Writers:

- Steven Moffat (six episodes)
- Gareth Roberts (two episodes) (updated November 6)
- Richard Curtis (one episode)
- Chris Chibnall (two episodes)

Directors:

- Adam Smith (Block One and Block Three)
- Andrew Gunn (Block Two – two episodes)
- Ashley Way (Block Four – two episodes) (updated November 11)
