Chris Chibnall - The Most Disivive Showrunner - Already

There have been a long list of showrunners

1. Verity Lambert - An Unearthly Child (1963) - Mission to the Unknown (1965)
2. John Wiles - The Myth Makers (1965) - The Ark (1966)
3. Innes Lloyd - The Celestial Toymaker (1966) - Enemy of the World (1967) (minus Tomb of the Cybermen)
4. Peter Bryant - The Web of Fear (1968) - The Space Pirates (1969) (plus Tomb of the Cybermen)
5. Derrick Sherwin - The War Games (1969) - Spearhead from Space (1970)
6. Barry Letts  - Doctor Who and the Silurians (1970) - Robot (1975)
7. Philip Hinchcliffe - The Ark in Space (1975) - The Talons of Weng Chiang (1977)
8. Graham Williams - Horror of Fang Rock (1977) - The Horns of Nimon (1980)
9. John Nathan Turner - The Leisure Hive (1980) - Survival (1989)
10. Philip Seagal  - The TV Movie (1996)
11. Russel T Davies - Rose (2005) - The End of Time (2010)
12. Steven Moffat - The Eleventh Hour (2010) - The Doctors (2017)
13. Chris Chibnall

So we with our 13th Doctor we have our 13th showrunner.

It was believed that Steven Moffat did a lot to annoy fans but Chris Chibnall's gender swap with the Doctor has caused a split in the fandom which has never been so big. Chibnall has alienated half his audience before even coming to the job.

He might be considered the worst showrunner of time if he isn't careful.

Another thing I don't like about the gender swap of the Time Lord is that in the future people's outcry will seem odd because by then there would be a reasonable amount of female Doctors. People who grew up with a male Doctor will grow less and less as sadly they die.

Jodie Whitaker will be accepted as a Doctor but not by the fans who want a male Doctor. Me included .
