After a whole series of derivative (and badly-lit) crapness, how does <em>Doctor Who</em> come up with a two-parter which comes so close to perfection that I'm just not going to quibble over the few bits that didn't quite work?</p> <p>Two words: Steven Moffat.</p> <p>Of course, script writers don't have any control over how a production turns out, the quality of the acting, or how well-lit an episode is. But "Silence in the Library" and "Forest of the Dead" showed - again - that if you get the script right first, the rest often follows. Twas ever thus, as the chequered history of <em>Doctor Who</em> amply demonstrates. It's something that the current production team seem to have been largely ignoring lately, but which Moffat clearly understands - which bodes well for his forthcoming stint as executive producer.</p> <p>Bring it on!</p> http://talktorex.co.uk/node/741#comment Sun, 08 Jun 2008 18:15:52 +0000 James Lark 741 at http://talktorex.co.uk
