Mark Gatiss the actor > Mark Gatiss the writer if Iā€™m being honest. Looking at this list really reminds me of how hit or miss I find his writing. Iā€™d say Unquiet is his best, with Crimson Horror, Empress of Mars, and Robot of Sherwood (can we get the beheading cut please?) also pretty good, but I donā€™t care much for the rest.

As per usual, I <3 Victory of the Daleks.
Empress of Mars and Robot of Sherwood are pretty good too.

I mean, I wouldnā€™t say exceptional, but I think all of his performances in Doctor Who have been fine, and I think better than his writing contributions for the most part.

Wow, Cold War is way lower than I expected! Probably my favorite 7B story, it feels like the episode where Clara goes from seeing the Doctor as her silly space boyfriend to realizing that this is an ancient alien who would kill her and himself without a second thought if it means keeping the world safe. The interrogation scene is tense and clever, and the Ice Warrior feels like a threat, really makes you realize why they were such a feared warrior race.

Heā€™s good at playing a certain type, but when he strays from that like his appearances in US movies. No no no.

Well I wasnā€™t speaking beyond Doctor Who. That would require me to be familiar with movies and TV that arenā€™t Doctor Who. So Iā€™ll defer to your greater familiarity with his oeuvre.

Honestly, I feel like The Unquiet Dead is the only one here I really tend to call a good episode. Itā€™s placement in the season arc, the relationship between Rose and Nine, Nine reacting to a different (supposedly) dwindling race, his lectures on time and linearity, it all serves the hidden goal of the first half of Series One: setting up the show.

However, I do like Night Terrors a lot more than most. Not outstanding but sweet and generally quite terrifying at points.
