RTD has been busy for Doctor Who season 14.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Doctor Who season 14 is ending a streak from Russell T Davies' original time as showrunner, but that isn't necessarily something to celebrate. After Chris Chibnall's Doctor Who era was defined by division and underwhelming reactions, RTD was tempted back into the TARDIS fold, his missive clearly to restore the old magic from when Doctor Who first relaunched in 2005.

RTD wrote eight episodes for the show's big 2000s comeback too. As a caveat, that season was 13 episodes long - much beefier than Doctor Who season 14. Consequently, Doctor Who season 14 is the first time since season 1 that RTD has written over half of a season by himself, and in percentage terms, is the most he has ever written for a single season. RTD being the brains behind six of Doctor Who season 14's eight episodes boils down to a 75% share of the scripts compared to 61.

Doctor Who season 14 is virtually a reboot in and of itself, and is being heavily pushed as "season 1" in marketing. This brand reset further explains the need for RTD to keep tight control of the creative aspect. This is very much his project, and the continued future of Doctor Who as a leading media franchise depends on its success.
