So the BBC have announced that the 9th series will run uninterrupted in 2015 as per the 8th series this year, however the statement only makes reference to Capaldi starring in the 8th series.
A friend who works in at the BBC in Cardiff told me that Capaldi would only sign up for one series so maybe the Doc could be changing sooner that expected!

I dunno, if you look at the quote...
“We’re not going to do splits, and the same format will repeat exactly the following year like that. So it will be the traditional form.”
...it could be taken that this will be Moff's last full series...

Series 9 will have a new showrunner.
After great success with Series 8, Capaldi happily continues his tenure in his dream job with a new companian after Jenna's tearjearking farewell.
It's all supposition, but if Capaldi only does one series I'll eat my Fez!
(The very fact that it was never in doubt that the show would be recommisioned is rather cool. As someone who went through half of the 80's wondering "Is this the end?" and thought Season 26 probably was, that still makes me
Yeah this ...
S8 - Moffat / Capaldi
S9 - New Showrunner / Capaldi
S10 - New Showrunner / New Doctor
EDIT: So I've got until 2016 to wait for a Toby Whithouse / Damien Moloney series then :cool:
How do we know Capaldi wont go on and do series 10? or for that matter series 11?
Just because Tennant and Smith only did 3 series and 4 years, it doesnt mean Capaldi will do the same!
Also if Capaldi does 4 Years and we get 4 whole series in that time, then that would mean things are different anyway?
Who knows what will happen in 2, 3, 4 or more years down the line?

I think whoever takes over will have a direction in mind which may begin with a second series for Capaldi if it's what they both want to do but I don't see him as going on for 4 years...
...in fact I don't think I want to see anyone in the role for 4 full series...
I think the way to approach it is that every kid should get to have "their" Doctor plus a glimpse of his predecessor and successor.
IMO the downfall of the classic series was that the idea of regeneration was absent from the minds of the younger end of the audience when Tom eventually left, and that made his 7 years difficult to follow.
I was lucky, I was born in '77 and got 3 regenerations, 3 Doctors (5,6,7), and 2 multi-Doctor stories between the ages of 4 and 12...
...if I'd been 8 years older I'd have got 2 regenerations and seven seasons of the same Doctor
You mean if Moffat is good or bad, he knows he still has to rap up at the end of series 8, ready for whoever takes over?
Smith and Tennant have both been the Doctor for 4 years each though, even though it was only 3 series!
So going by the time both Smith and Tennant were the Doctor and from what your saying about Doctors not going on too long, we could have Capaldi last 4 years (like Smith and Tennant), but get 4 full series if they keep up with them, instead of faffing around in Capaldi's last year like Smith and Tennant!
Yes as he has wrapped up all previous multi series arcs, there now cant be any more, unless another show runner decides to do it!
Well Moffat better clear up anything, he didnt do in 'Time of...', in series 8, or the next showrunner will be left with unresolved stuff!
Why has everyone decided that Moffat's going to leave after next series just because its the same amount of time RTD was in charge? Its not a presidency, he can stay as long as he wants (or at least until he gets fired) so he could be here for another 10 years yet! And in my opinion, he's only just started moving the show in the right direction this last year, I couldn't stand his first two series as showrunner!
