The problem is that the showrunner still has to write the majority of episodes per season and Chibnall's previous entries aren't filling us with confidence. Also, Torchwood is kinda terrible imo.
No what i'm saying is he got the job because he put in the hours and did the work and became dependable enough with his other shows that BBC decided to take a chance on him. Same with Moffat and same with Davies.
Moffat had good credentials, being behind most prominent episodes in Davies time. But this guy directed couple of episodes long ago and all of them turned sour.
I'm just saying that his career in tv outside of dr who helped get him the job. Same with Davies when he was getting the revival off the ground. Davies's other expierence with tv got him the job more than his work with the Dr who novels.
