With the future of Doctor Who still up in the air, former showrunner Steven Moffat says there's a "national duty" to keep making the long-running sci-fi show

Doctor Who.

The future of Doctor Who is still up in the air, but Steven Moffat, who served as showrunner between 2010 and 2017, thinks the BBC has a "national duty" to continue the show.

"I hope it comes back. I don't have any inside information," Moffat, who wrote the show's most recent Christmas special told RadioTimes.com. "I don't know what the future is. I hope there is one. I have no idea… The spin-off's been shot and I imagine decisions don't get taken until that's gone out, and that's not for a while. But it's always painful when it's off the air. I think there's a national duty for the BBC to make Doctor Who."
