I won't do a poll because he has done too many stories now, but how do you think Moffat is coming along as showrunner after 2 and a half series behind the wheel?

For the most part I think Moffat has done a brilliant job. I loved series 5 and the direction that it took and I loved the bulk of the stories within S6, however I feel that that particular season was far too heavy on arc and I think Moff was trying too hard to put his stamp on the show. While you can't criticise the guy for trying, I think he realised that it didn't really work and has now tried something different for this season, something that for the most part really is working. The viewing figures are up and the stories are pretty awesome (I hated TPOT). He comes in for a lot of stick and I think a lot of the time he doesn't really help himself by trying to wind the fans up, but I do think he is doing a brilliant job so far and I can't wait to see how he handles the next companion.

I'm more impressed with him than I am disappointed. I think he has brought some brilliant stories and themes to the show but I think he has had a fair few misses already. I was more critical of his early work as showrunner than I am now so I guess that means that for me he has improved.

I'd pretty much agree with this. There haven't been any stories I've hated, but some have been weaker, and I'm not keen on his habit of giving familar enemies cameo appearances, but overall I think he's done a great job, and I'm really looking forward to the rest of this series.

I think he's brilliant. He's written just about all of my favorite episodes, and I find it very difficult to enjoy episodes by other writers anywhere near as much as I do Moffat written episodes. The only real clunker of his I think is last year's Christmas special.

I think Moff has become stretched a bit too thin and the quality of his writing, although still good, isn't as good as when he was doing one or two episodes a season. I think this year with the longer production has really helped him. The series feels a lot more even and the stories are much better too. I'm happy with his work at the moment but I think he has more in him.
