Okay, calm down. Moffat really is done with the show after the Christmas special. But he will be adapting his Doctor Who 50th anniversary episode, The Day of the Doctor, as part of a new Target collection for BBC Books and Penguin House. Alongside Moffat, original NuWho showrunner Russell T. Davies will be adapting his very first episode, Rose. Meanwhile, novelist Jenny Colgan will be adapting The Christmas Invasion, the first episode of the show starring David Tennant. Paul Cornell will be adapting the upcoming Christmas special, Twice Upon a Time.

In a lair somewhere beneath central London, a malevolent alien intelligence is plotting the end of humanity. Shop window dummies that can move – and kill – are taking up key positions, ready to strike.
Rose Tyler, an ordinary Londoner, is working her shift in a department store, unaware that this is the most important day of her life. She's about to meet the only man who understands the true nature of the threat facing Earth, a stranger who will open her eyes to all the wonder and terror of the universe – a traveller in time and space known as the Doctor.

Within hours, a third of humanity stands on the brink of death with not a single shot fired.
Our planet needs a champion – but the Doctor is not fit for service. He's just regenerated, delirious in a new body and a dressing gown.
