Steven Moffat returns for a new Doctor Who story
It has already been over two years after Steven Moffat’s final episode as the showrunner and executive producer of BBC’s long-running fantasy series Doctor Who, and now, Moffat makes his return to the Doctor Who universe as he writes a brand new short adventure story for the titular Time Lord. The short story titled “The Terror Of The Umpty Ums,” centering on Jodie Whittaker’s thirteenth doctor.
Steven Moffat was the showrunner and executive producer of Doctor Who for six seasons which starred Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi as the tenth and twelfth incarnations of the doctor.

Here’s an excerpt from the story which you can now read on BBC’s official website:
“The reeking flesh mass was silent for a moment before twisting and stretching its upper, frontal skin lumps into a new configuration. Karpagnon’s visual circuits processed and pattern-matched the configuration within two nano-seconds: apparently the human was smiling. Karpagnon considered for a moment and elected not to retaliate.
“Did you hear me?” emitted the Human from its flapped aperture. “Did you understand? Do you understand what I’m saying?” The encoded sound stream was accompanied by a fresh flow of smells also emanating from the aperture. Karpagnon’s sensory filter began processing the new odours, while his tactical monitor noted that they were unlikely to be directly significant to the Human’s communication. The light spray of moisture was similarly dismissed. “I’ll be back tomorrow morning. Dr. Johnson and Dr. Ahmed will be here too. Do you remember them?”
