[JMT1985]

Please remember, the episode count per season has been drastically cut since the 12th doctor era - when Peter took over in 2014, they cut 1 episode per season, and then when Jodie became the 13th they cut 2 episodes per season, and now we are down to 8 episodes per season, so not much wriggle room for new writers to be let loose.

With all the Disney money now available, it is still unlikely we will ever return to the 13 episode run per season of 2005 - 2008 and 2010 - 2013.
