Producer Marcus Wilson says Doctor Who cant accept unsolicited proposals. Its entirely understandable; Doctor Who is the show everyone wants to write (less understandable is how scripts as lousy as The Power of Three, The Rings of Akhaten and The Crimson Horror get through the net). And its appeal to any hack is obvious: all of time and space is your playground, and the Doctor is flexible enough to jump into your zaniest premise. As Gary Gillatt wrote, He can fight seaweed in the North Sea or take tea with Marie Antoinette. Make Doctor Who in America and you have even more chance to knock on the doors of great writers. And not just TV auteurs like Russell T. Davies or Steven MoffatRichard Curtis and Neil Gaiman took breaks from their rom-coms and Gothic fantasy novels to have a crack. Michael Chabon or Joss Whedon will never write a CSI, but give them Doctor Whos blank slate and I bet theyd have a script in by close of business. Lena Dunham would have a field day with the tea with Marie Antoinette idea.
