Doctor Who - Blink

After a poor start to the season Doctor Who is back on form, following the great double episode written by Paul Cornell comes an episode entitled Blink, written by Steven Moffat. Moffat has also written three other brilliant Doctor Who episdoes, The Empty Child, The Doctor Dances and The Girl In The Fireplace, some of the best episodes of this entire new regeneration of Doctor Who.

Blink is excellent too. It's a double banker episode ie. one with little of The Doctor and Martha, which allows the production team to squeeze another episode into their filming schedule. But like the previous episode of this nature, Love And Monsters, it allows an interesting and fresh amount of freedom.  It's like a mish-mash of  Ring and Back To The Future and Doctor Who, and has a sort of Saphire And Steel feel. Great stuff. The monsters? Statues of course, the everyday made scary.

Don't blink!

So the solution to get great Doctor Who episodes is clear, get great writers.
