Well, speaking to RadioTimes.com at the Radio Times Covers Party 2024, the former showrunner revealed whether or not a potential return was on the horizon.
"Look at my ageing face. How can I fit in? And I know, because I've seen the feedback, that people think I'm being evasive on the subject," he explained, before continuing, "The truth is, if I say anything negative about Doctor Who it goes everywhere, like boom, everywhere, right?
"It doesn't exactly bring joy to the world that I just say something negative about Doctor Who. The fact is, it's fine without me."

He added: "We've got Russell there. We've got a bunch of new writers there. We've got Ncuti [Gatwa, Fifteenth Doctor] there. It's all good."
Moffat previously addressed his return to the series in September during an appearance on Newsnight, noting that the show is in "very safe hands" with current showrunner Davies.
