An inspiration to my writing career (and I'm sure to many others), Steven Moffat is truly one of the most beautifully diverse, unique writers of this generation. Dating back to his BBC sitcom Coupling, the episode "Split" inspired my latest play Battle Of The Exes: When Moffat arrived in Doctor Who from "The Eleventh Hour" the whole Smith and Pond section was what got me hooked. The whole River Song story Arc was utter genius! My favourite storyline thus far. One hell of a mind fuck, but on the plus side, ONE HELL OF A MIND FUCK! To write on that level with a million story lines intertwining must take years of TLC. Coupling was just as clever for what it was, an obvious kick starter, and now I can see it's rubbed off in Sherlock. Respect for you, Moffat, A LOT of respect. It will be sad to see you go, especially after you introduced Capaldi so beautifully. But I'm not worried. I'm interested to see what the next head writer has to offer. I listened to UKScriptwriters podcast interview with Chris Chibnall, new head writer for Doctor who. Listen to it here: If he's written for Torchwood and Life On Mars I'm not at all worried. And Broadchurch was his first spec script? Erm........ I'm expecting magic to happen, Chibnall. And who is your agent?
