Literally the only person willing to take over from Moffat was Chris Chibnall, and only then because the BBC told him they would have to cancel the show otherwise.
Maybe that’s the point where they should have realized they drove the series off the cliff. I know getting local talent is limited, but if you can’t get a showrunner for Doctor Fucking Who, it’s a lost cause.
Showrunner is not a common position in British TV, where usually all episodes are written by the same person. There are a limited number of people experienced enough to consider, and they tend to have their own things to do, that don’t come with the toxic fans and media attention.
