Chris Chibnall is a Doctor Who fan who later became a writer for both that series and Torchwood. However, as of 2008, the majority of his work has been well outside the "Whoniverse". He was a co-creator of the long-running family drama, Born and Bred. He has also notably contributed to the police procedurals, Spooks: Code 9 and Life on Mars.

In 1986, Chibnall represented part of the Doctor Who Appreciation Socety on the BBC's public opinion show "Points of View". There he famously criticized the Trial of a Time Lord season as a specific example of the generally inconsistent quality of the series in the 1980s. This critique has occasionally haunted him amongst modern fans who have been disappointed with his own work on Doctor Who and Torchwood.

Upon the relaunch of the series in 2005, Chibnall wrote 42, but has primarily been involved with Torchwood. While he was a freelance writer for the first series, he was the effective head writer of Series 2. Formally a producer the relationship between he and his co-producer, Richard Stokes, has been likened to that existing between Russell T Davies and Phil Collinson on Doctor Who.
