I have Doctor Who on the brain a lot at the moment – more so than usual. One reason for this is that Jodie Whittaker’s time in the Tardis is almost up and, like most fans, I am nervously excited to discover who the next Doctor will be.
Another reason is that, like a Doctor at the end of their tenure, I am contemplating my own looming exit from a job I’ve loved: in my case, being political editor of the New Statesman. By the time you read this, I will have completed my regeneration into Andrew Marr – I just hope that I’ve managed to bow out with something light but apposite.
