The following story contains MINOR SPOILERS for the upcoming special episodes and Season 5 for "Doctor Who."

Russell T. Davies successfully blended the old with the new during his four-year run as "Doctor Who's" showrunner, but when Steven Moffat takes over in 2010, fans shouldn't expect nostalgia and returning characters ... instead, they'll receive plenty of new stories and new monsters.

"We're not in the business of being nostalgic; we're making nostalgia for the future, new monsters, new friends," he told fans at the recent Comic-Con in San Diego.

"'Doctor Who' is at its best when it's brand new, and you've always got to remember that there's a new bunch of eight-year-olds watching every year and it has to be original -- it has to belong to them," he said.

But just how can the show runner be so sure he won't be tredding on the toes of any previous stories? That's easy, according to Moffat, because he's memorized it all.

"Having taken the precaution of having memorized every single event in 'Doctor Who's' history, it's fairly easy for me to keep continuity because I remember it all," he explained. "In the end, a television series which embraces both the ideas of parallel universe and the concept of changing time can't have a continuity error -- it can't. It's impossible for 'Doctor Who' to get it wrong because we can just say, 'he changed time, it's a time warp, it happens.'"

"Doctor Who" will broadcast a handful of special episodes throughout 2009, with the fifth season making its debut in spring, 2010.
