Doctor Who
Masterpiece:
(click to show/hide) Just watched Before The Flood, and the amplifier the Doctor uses at the beginning is made by Magpie Electricals. Ring a bell?

Technically that's a Moffat episode, though I know what you mean. It is so confusing to me that he wrote easily the best episodes of the Russel T. Davies' years, yet when he was in charge of the show, he suddenly lost (most) of his skill. If you can't tell, I'm not a huge fan of Matt Smith, rather, I'm not a fan of the writing he was given during his last seasons. Love the guy, love the way he played the character, but somehow, still, did not enjoy much of his run as the Doctor.
He's done well enough with Capaldi, though, I'm loving the Twelfth Doctor so far. Not sure how much of that's the (in my opinion) better writing and how much of that's Capaldi's take on the character, but I don't especially care. I enjoy it.
Masterpiece:
Weird. He's also written the Don't Blink episode, pretty good too.
Masterpiece:
Fuck, the Empty Child is also by him. As is, unsurprisingly in hindsight, the episode introducing River Song. Huh.

Like I said, all the greatest of RTD's run, written by Moffat, and then, when they put him in charge, the writing goes downhill. I wish I could understand why.
