In May 2008, the BBC announced that Moffat would be succeeding Davies as lead writer and executive producer of "Doctor Who" for the show's fifth series, to be broadcast in 2010, although Davies had initiated discussions with Moffat regarding this as far back as July 2007. He had intended to complete work on the "Tintin" trilogy before resuming work on "Doctor Who", but delays caused by the intervening 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike meant he could only submit part of a script for the first film. Moffat told "The Guardian" in 2012 that Spielberg was "lovely" about his decision to walk away from his three-film "Tintin" contract to return to "Doctor Who". The script for the first film in the trilogy, "The Adventures of Tintin" (released in 2011), was completed by Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish, with a part of Moffat's script used in the film.
