Source on the Bill thing? I know Capaldi said in his BBC radio interview that the series is mostly stand alone but there is an arc story that becomes apparent as you pull into the end.
The Ram thing afaik still isn't outright confirmed? It's just assumed because he listed Doctor Who on his CV, but he did it back before Class ever aired and it's still unknown if he actually means the parent show or his agent just advised him "Doctor Who" would sound better than "Class".
In regards to Capaldi's exit 3 series in 4 years is fast becoming the done thing for Doctors these days it seems.
Gonna miss both Capaldi and Moffat but I am glad at least that Moffat gets to write Capaldi's exit and while I don't want him to go, a clean break for a new showrunner and Chibnall to reinvent the show the same way Moffat did back at Series 5 is definitely appealing. I'm really hoping s10 is as great as what s9 was or close to but we'll see. Tennant and Smith only got 1 incredible series each so Capaldi would have to be breaking the mold to get another, but I'll live in hope.
Not sure what to expect from Chibnall going forward, his best Doctor Who work has been only good, his worst has been pretty poor and most of it has been no better than just decent. We shall see though, he'll have more opportunity to create his own vision with the show than his past episodes, and he managed to make s2 of Torchwood amazing (even his episodes) after an abysmal s1 which included him writing one of the worst episodes of anything ever contributed to the Who universe.
Hopefully he'll cast Bertie Carvel as the next Doctor Who and that'll have me fully on board.
