Dream Guest Writers
Who would you love to have as a guest writer on Doctor Who?
Doesn't have to be probable, just whoever takes your fancy. What kind of episode would you like them to write, which foes would the Doctor face? I'd love to see an episode from Pendleton Ward, the creator of Adventure Time. He's great at doing experimental off-the wall stories, with weird but lovable characters. And I'd love Robert Shearman to write something with the Celestial Toymaker. He's a great surrealist writer, who could write a real mind**** story with the master of games. Who'd you like to see write an episode? |

Comic writers John Wagner and Pat Mills
They co-wrote 4 Fourth Doctor stories for Doctor Who Magazine and Mills wrote 3 Big Finish audios, one of which was based on a story idea he and Wagner had submitted to the editors in the 80s |

Also stephen king would be a good choice. That man's dark imagination with the established world of the show would be interesting. I also have to add Russell T Davies, since he seems realistically unlikely to write for the show again any time soon with all he has going on, and so falls into this dream category at the moment, but in an ideal world he is probably the person I'd most be interested to see what he could do with 12 after his brilliant work with 9 and 10. Lets not forget most of what are generally considered to Moffats greatest episodes were when he was working for RTD so maybe doing it for someone else makes good writers even better and it could be that RTD could write his greatest episode(s) yet under Moffat. |

Christopher Nolan or Vince Gilligan would be pretty sweet.

I've been re-watching the brilliant Ripper Street recently so how about Jamie Crichton and Richard Warlow, both very experienced character driven writers.
