Being Human creator Toby Whithouse has now written 4 episodes of Doctor Who - which one is your favourite?

I really like School Reunion and Vampires of Venice, but not as keen on the other two. Have to pick School Reunion, it was a brilliant episode to bring back Sarah Jane, one which I will never get tired of watching!  |

Every story he has done has been significantly better than the last. The last two especially have been amazing. My vote has gone to ATCM.
Also, I don't know why but I thought he wrote Fear Her as well.

Happily not. That was Matthew Graham.

Blimey, TW has written some amazing stories. If we need a new showrunner any time soon I would be knocking on his door.
In the end I went for School Reunion - because that had such an immediate impact. I could, in all honesty, have picked any of them as they were all brilliant.

You never know, rumours are that the next Being Human is the last. That would tie in quite neatly. |

You cannot have him until Being Human is finished. I will not allow it!  |

I could really have chosen any of them, but I've gone for this one. Maybe that's just the immediate impact.

School Reunion I don't think has aged particularly well. With the exception of Having SJS and K9 back and Tony Head turning in a great performance I think it's weak. VOV never sat well with me. It felt latched on to the Vampire craze that's sweeping everywhere and wasn't a particularly good story. The last two I love, but I went for Mercy because David Walliams is really annoying in TGC (and pretty much everything else)

I went with "A Town Called Mercy", but I think all of his episodes have been great. He's turning out to be one of my favorite writers for this show. He writes the Doctor well; all of his episodes have felt like a good ole Doctor Who episode, if you know what I mean.

After my re-watch I could easily have picked ATCM - but like I say, all of his stories have been amazing Blimey, TW has written some amazing stories. If we need a new showrunner any time soon I would be knocking on his door.
You cannot have him until Being Human is finished. I will not allow it! I fear we are in to the last season of Being Human sadly  but he would do an amazing job (whilst we need an awesome writer we also need an experienced producer - and this is where TW would benefit over someone like Paul Cornell). But whether TW is show runner or not, he is a fabulous writer |

I don't particularly rate the first 3, so I went with this episode.

I'm not keen on the first two but I love the second two. I;ve gone with TGC but ATCM was close.

I've gone for ATCM, but I enjoy every story on this board, and would happily support TW for the next head writer |
