Chris Chibnall made some massive changes to Doctor Who canon during the Jodie Whittaker era, but some were more controversial than others.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Since Russell T Davies brought back Doctor Who in 2005, each subsequent showrunner has expanded the show's mythology and Chris Chibnall is no exception. Casting Jodie Whittaker as the show's first female Doctor was the first of Chris Chibnall's bold decisions that improved the diversity both in front and behind the camera on Doctor Who.
As Doctor Who approaches its 60th anniversary, audiences now know less about the Doctor's origins than ever before. It remains unclear if Russell T Davies will tackle the Timeless Child in his new era, but in many ways, its open-ended nature was always the point. The mystery of where the Doctor came from and who their real parents were is immaterial because all that matters is the inspiring hero that the Doctor became.
8 The Doctor Regenerated Many Times Before The First Doctor One of Chris Chibnall's biggest additions to Doctor Who canon was the confirmation of pre-Hartnell Doctors. It had previously been hinted at in the Tom Baker serial "The Brain of Morbius", but Jo Martin's Fugitive Doctor confirmed it.
If the Grand Serpent can go back in time and keep the Brigadier from rising through the ranks, somebody could have changed the timeline to shift UNIT's inception back a decade. Doctor Who fans are notoriously linear in their approach to a TV show that literally has time travel at its core. In changing UNIT's origins during Flux, Chibnall signposted that Doctor Who's established history is always in a state of flux.
