On 3 May 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved to Doctor Who series 13 (2021). The result of the discussion was no consensus.

I took this from the GA review and will remove topics as they are adressed.

• More behind-the-scenes information about the casting and characters would be good, too. Here's a video about Dan, which is a good place to start.

• It's also largely based around announcements instead of information: "[person] wrote/directed/starred in [episode]", instead of e.g. "[person] focused the story on the relationship between [X and Y]". There's a whole playlist of behind-the-scenes content that would be a goldmine for this stuff. The Doctor Who Magazine Yearbook also looks ripe with information.

Writing

• I know Chibnall was notoriously quiet when it came to discussing his work, but this section could really benefit from some actual information about the writing process and decisions. Series 5 is probably the best example of this. Right now, the section basically just lists writers and would-be writers.
