Blink is excellent and there are some very good bits to the Time of angels and Silence in the Library. That's what I meant by 'managing'. With a decent producer and script editor keeping him focussed and a good interval between stories he'd deliver more often.
Exactly what I've been saying he's a great, amazing writer even in someone else's show bible.
But when he runs a show bible himself, it's just a mess.
That awful rambling last episode of Sherlock, with all those contradictory stories jammed into a mess.
nb these are Moffatt's first 6 episodes on Who, including his first as show runner.
"The Empty Child" / "The Doctor Dances" (2005)
"The Girl in the Fireplace" (2006)
"Blink" (2007)
"Time Crash" (Children in Need mini-episode, 2007)
"Silence in the Library" / "Forest of the Dead" (2008)
"The Eleventh Hour"
I'd say they're all killer, no filler.
