Yes, it sure would’ve been nice if it had some of those.

It’s more that how is it still here in comparison to other stories from this era that I’m surprised are gone! Also part 2 really sours part 1 for me.

We don’t have to agree on the story, but these two you can’t refuse, that did actually happen :wink:

Technically speaking, Maxine hasn’t vanished. She’s written 4 episodes of “All Creatures Great and Small” from 2023-2024, and between 2013-2022, she wrote 124 episodes of Emmerdale Farm.

(She also wrote 3 episodes of “The Worst Witch” in 2017-2018…)

Oh, sorry, I meant vanished from Doctor Who.

Love to see these writers doing other things, of course, but a shame they’re not doing more Doctor Who, meanwhile we have RTD and Moffat bashing out their 489th script.

Definitely!

It’s always interesting to see what other things writers have done, though. Was just looking at Sarah, and she was a writer and producer on the first season of Bridgerton, and this bit on wikipedia sounds like it sums up her last few years…

In December 2016 it was announced that Dollard would adapt YA novel Cuckoo Song, by Frances Hardinge, for television.[15] In December 2020 it was announced that Netflix had greenlit the series.[21] In July 2022, it was announced the project has been cancelled.[22] On August 31, 2023, it was announced that Dollard would adapt the mystery thriller Generation Loss by Elizabeth Hand, for television.[23] On March 14, 2024, it was announced that Dollard would write and executive produce the noir series The Undertow, based on the Norwegian series Twin, for Netflix.[24]

SKAAK: The Crimean skirmish seems the perfect place to start. So much conflict. So much opportunity. And also… I wanted to ride a horse.

I feel like we need some more lighthearted games after this one. There have been three pretty intense ones. Any suggestions?

Starts writing ideas for Doctor Who Drag Race S2

I agree !! I like ones like this where we’re all involved it’s really fun. Was there a Moffat elimination game done already?
