Executive producer Caroline Skinner has moved on from Doctor Who to join BBC Drama Production in London, the BBC has announced.

Skinner told the Doctor Who blog: “It has been an honour to have been a part of Doctor Who, and a privilege to have worked with Steven Moffat and Matt Smith on this extraordinary show.  I have hugely enjoyed my time in BBC Wales and would like to thank Faith Penhale, and our wonderful production team for their unending commitment and brilliance.  I will miss them all enormously, but I’m leaving Doctor Who in fine form, with the new series starting at Easter and the fantastic plans for the 50th Anniversary already underway.  I am delighted to be now returning to BBC Drama Production in London as an executive producer, and the new opportunities and projects that will bring.”

Head of Drama Faith Penhale will be the executive producer for the 50th anniversary special alongside Steven Moffat.
