Doctor Who's Steven Moffat on potential return: "It's fine without me!"
"We've got Russell there... We've got Ncuti there. It's all good."
With a brand new season of Doctor Who just months away, fans are wanting to have their burning questions answered about the new instalment and beyond.
One of those questions that has remained the same is: Will Steven Moffat ever return to Doctor Who?
Well, speaking to RadioTimes.com at the Radio Times Covers Party 2024, the former showrunner revealed whether or not a potential return was on the horizon.
"Look at my ageing face. How can I fit in? And I know, because I've seen the feedback, that people think I'm being evasive on the subject," he explained, before continuing, "The truth is, if I say anything negative about Doctor Who it goes everywhere, like boom, everywhere, right?
"It doesn't exactly bring joy to the world that I just say something negative about Doctor Who. The fact is, it's fine without me."

Moffat noted that the show now has the return of Russell T Davies, as well as other writers all taking part in creating an exciting new era.
He added: "We've got Russell there. We've got a bunch of new writers there. We've got Ncuti [Gatwa, Fifteenth Doctor] there. It's all good."
Moffat previously addressed his return to the series in September during an appearance on Newsnight, noting that the show is in "very safe hands" with current showrunner Davies.
