He was also the effective head writer of [[Series 1 (Torchwood)|series 1]] and [[Series 2 (Torchwood)|2]] of ''[[Torchwood (TV series)|Torchwood]]'' from 2006-08, after becoming [[co-producer]] of those first two series.

Having taken over from [[Steven Moffat]], Chibnall decided to tone down the mythology of the show, as some might suggest its focus on lore was driving new viewers away. During his [[Series 11 (Doctor Who)|first series]], audiences felt that there was a less rushed pacing in some episodes, arguably due to the added five minutes of runtime, a minor distinction from past series', or perhaps due to the more standalone nature of the stories. | Having taken over from [[Steven Moffat]], Chibnall decided to tone down the mythology of the show, as some might suggest its focus on lore was driving new viewers away.
