BBC probably wants a fresh start when Moffat leaves. Didn't always like his episodes but Capaldi was a great Doctor.

Was really hoping he'd be around a while. It was nice that the show wasn't a CW show for once. Next doc will be another pretty boy to get the twilight crowd back.

Probably, although I bet there's a much harder push than last time for a gender flip.

3 series in 4 years is fast becoming the done thing for Doctors these days it seems.

Gonna miss both Capaldi and Moffat but I am glad at least that Moffat gets to write Capaldi's exit and while I don't want him to go, a clean break for a new showrunner and Chibnall to reinvent the show the same way Moffat did back at Series 5 is definitely appealing. I'm really hoping s10 is as great as what s9 was or close to but we'll see. Tennant and Smith only got 1 incredible series each so Capaldi would have to be breaking the mold to get another, but I'll live in hope.

Not sure what to expect from Chibnall going forward, his best Doctor Who work has been only good, his worst has been pretty poor and most of it has just been decent. We shall see though, he'll have more opportunity to create his own vision with the show than his past episodes, and he managed to make s2 of Torchwood amazing (even his episodes) after an abysmal s1 with included him writing one of the worst episodes of anything ever contributed to the Who universe.
Hopefully he'll cast Bertie Carvel as the next Doctor Who and that'll have me fully on board.

Capaldi was great, but tbh every doctor has been well done imo so far since 9. Hopefully they keep getting it right

I was really hoping peter would play some story arc leading into a darker, valeyard-like, doctor. Now my hopes are fading away with only one more season with peter and not a hint of that darkness in sight.

Peter Capaldi's leaving too soon. There's plenty yet that he can do with his incarnation of the Doctor and I doubt Series 10 and the Christmas Special will be enough for him to fulfil that potential. His Doctor is so complex and fascinating that he could play the part for years without anyone growing bored of Peter Capaldi in the role.
