Oh my what a totally fantastic episode of Dr Who last night and David Tenant was hardly in it. However of course the scenes he was in - he was perfectly charismatic.
Steven Moffat is IMHO one of the best British TV Writers in the last 20 years. I was obsessed with ‘Press Gang’ as a kid - who the hell writes like that for children anymore? It was witty, sexy and intelligent, the cast was perfect and it was a joy to watch. The only children’s programme to win my mother over into coming home early from work!
Anyway enought of that. Steven Moffat the Dr Who years…thanks Russell for getting him in. He’s written 4 of the best episodes:
“Doctor Who” (4 episodes, 2005-2007)
- Blink (2007) TV Episode (written by)
- The Girl in the Fireplace (2006) TV Episode (written by)
- The Doctor Dances (2005) TV Episode (written by)
- The Empty Child (2005) TV Episode (written by)
How brilliant were all those episodes? The Empty Child was heartbreaking and scary as hell - not to mention the first appearance of Captain Jack (thanks!!). The Girl in the Fireplace was one of my all time favourite ever Who episodes.
Blink was great, scary, funny and what a great companion the girl who played Sally Sparrow would have been. I’m now scared of stone statues - how bloody scary were they? ;) Nice to see it back to form!
PS. Please, please can Steven Moffat write an episode of Torchwood???
