You just really got the impression with Chibbs taking over that they didn't have any other options and had to strong-arm him into it. Yes, definitely a sense of RTD & Moffat letting him know that he was The Chosen One. And also the logical choice - he practically ran Torchwood, is a massive fan and has showrunning experience.
How much can that situation have changed in five years? I think the main thing is that there *isn't* an obvious successor. Which is interesting.
Now would be a great time to tell me Britain is sitting on a vast but hidden pool of women of color writers with show-running experience. Possibly there is, but if so, it's *hidden*.
Maybe they could get two people to do it together? Pair up somebody new and fresh with someone with all the industry expertise. That is a brilliant idea. Pitch it to the BBC!
