Quote: chipolata @ June 1 2010, 1:11 PM BSTAll right, Picky Pete! How about some of the writers behing Misfits or Being Human. Or even Charlie Brooker? He's a massive Who Head and Dead Set proves he can do drama. *sits back and waits for evil Lucas to poo-poo him again*
Haven't seen Misfits or Being Human. Yes to Brooker. That'd be fun.
What about some of the Ashes to Ashes team?
Nb. Hasn't the Being Human writer already done some?

You'd like em. And yes, I'd let the A2A guys have a stab. And Godot.
Quote: chipolata @ June 1 2010, 1:17 PM BST
Yeah. Godot, script edited by Stott.
From an interview with Curtis:
'Richard added that he is a "serious new convert" to Doctor Who and has "watched pretty well every episode of the new manifestation".'
From an earlier post: How hilarious it will be to see Curtis fall into the pitfalls that all mediocre established writers with big balls and a hard-on to write for the show do. 'Time travel - excellent - I'll put Van Gogh in it!' "Science fiction? I'll make Dr. Gachet an alien - that'll blow everyone's mind!' You utter, utter twat.
On the other hand it will be wonderful to see Bill Nighy do his seminal creepy posh man on a stick routine. Here playing an art-lover by the looks of it - much like John Cleese in City of Death - which presumably Curtis has never seen or heard of.
Now we know - he hasn't.

Dunno. I already said I don't pay attention to who writes what! I just think this series can occasionally fall short in good dramatic storytelling.

Me script-edited by Stott - that would be the A2M guys.

I'm sure somebody here will know. Come on, everybody, chop chop!

A2M sounds far too much like a late night phone service.
Quote: Matthew Stott @ June 1 2010, 1:06 PM BSTActually, now Gaiman has had a go, why not Alan Moore? Or even hit up Joss Whedon, see if he'd fancy giving it a go?
Not Whedon for the love of god.

If you've seen Skins, imagine that with super powers et voila.

Toby Whithouse - did Vampires of Venice; also did School Reunion.

Always in favour of real SF writers getting ivolved in these shows. Tanith Lee's Sand is my favourite Blake's Seven episode; and for Star Trek Harlan Ellison did City on the Edge of Forever and Theodore Sturgeon the mighty Amok Time.

Thank you Tim.

Overly fashionable kids f**king anything and taking drugs, all to popular music of the time with fast flashy editing.
And Misfits was nothing like it!

I probably didn't watch it because I thought my jealousy mode (of fictitious characters) would kick in.

No they also had super powers. As said before.
And they were mostly the ugly loser kids. And it was funny. And witty. And clever.
UNLIKE FECKING SKINS.
