BBC bosses are reportedly planning to move 'Doctor Who' back to its traditional Saturday night slot.

The next series of the sci-fi show will star Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor in her second run and will air in early 2020 but after showrunner Chris Chibnall got his wish to have it moved to Sunday evenings the experiment is to be scrapped after one year.
It will revert back to Saturdays on BBC One in a bid to draw in more family audiences.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "There is a feeling families are freer to watch on Saturdays than Sundays, when kids have homework to finish. While the show rated well overall, there were concerns over the decline in the audience. Returning to Saturdays is being discussed as a likely option."
Jodie's debut season was a hit with critics last year, however, ratings fell week-on-week following the opening episode 'The Woman Who Fell to Earth' which attracted a consolidated audience of 10.9 million in the UK, making it the biggest season launch for the show since it returned in its modern format in 2005.
Series 11 finished with a series average of 5.7 million viewers per storyline across the 10 episodes.
Jodie, 36, made history by becoming the first woman to portray the titular Time Lord and she is far from ready to hand over the TARDIS to another actor.
She previously said: "I really can't wait to step back in and get to work again. It's such an incredible role. It's been an extraordinary journey so far and I'm not quite ready to hand it over yet."
