Three BIG pieces of big Doctor Who news have come out of the BBC in the past 24 hours. First, showrunner Steven Moffat will be stepping down after finishing Season 10. Second, we also won’t be seeing that season for quite a while: the only new Doctor Who to be broadcast in 2016 will be the Christmas Special with Season 10 to follow in Spring of 2017. Finally, Broadchurch creator and showrunner Chris Chibnall will take over for Moffat in 2018.

What does this mean for Doctor Who? Plenty, I am sure! Love him or hate him, Moffat’s contributions to the series are significant and impossible to ignore. With written contributions going back as far as Season 1, he’s written for all of the modern Doctors. As producer, he’s cast two of them: Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi. He’s made the show plenty of new fans, and (unfortunately) made many fans into critics of how he runs the series. Read more about this and Chris Chibnall below.

A trailer has been released for the one-off Sherlock special, and fans of the BBC series are understandably ecstatic. A clip from the special was shown back in July during San Diego Comic-Con 2015.

The special is just like any episode of the series…only set in Victorian-era London in the 19th century to give it that classic Sherlock Holmes feel. It stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock and Martin Freeman as Dr. John Watson.

You can watch the trailer for the special below.

With Doctor Who starring Peter Capaldi set to return to television screens for Season 9 of the revived series, it seems like a good time to go back in time about 50 years and revisit some lesser known aspects of the series’ beginning. Though Doctor Who began with a historical serial now commonly known as “An Unearthly Child,” it rocketed into the national consciousness with its second serial, now called “The Daleks.” In a show much known for its monsters, the Daleks were the originals. They put the show into a format that we recognize today. They also caused a craze in Great Britain that came to be known as Dalekmania and brought the series audience figures of over 9 million viewers a week. It has only periodically equaled those numbers in the 50 years since.

The story of the Daleks was told in three different ways, with two different Doctors. First, there is the teleplay by Terry Nation. Being part of a weekly adventure series, it tells the story of how the Doctor, his granddaughter Susan, and her schoolteachers Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright arrive on the radioactive world of Skaro and meet the Daleks. The Daleks are mutated survivors of an atomic war who hate any creatures who are not like themselves. This is original version and, excepting certain accommodations for budget and pacing for a half hour television serial, it is the best. It is also canonical.

During its panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2015, a trailer was shared for series 9 of the megahit BBC show Doctor Who. In addition to the trailer, a premiere date for the season was also revealed, leaving many fans very happy today.

Series 9 sees the return of The Doctor (Peter Capaldi) and Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman), along with some other familiar faces showing up, and it will premiere on September 19th. Click on over to the other side now to watch the trailer for the new series.

This time last year, BBC One announced the renewal of their popular television series Sherlock for a fourth season, along with a 2015 Christmas Special to precede it.

Now, the network has released the first official photo from the upcoming Sherlock special, which shows Benedict Cumberbatch in the title role of super sleuth Sherlock Holmes with Martin Freeman as his crime-solving partner Dr. John Watson.
