Doctor Who: EVERY Steven Moffat Episode Ranked Worst To Best

43. Bonus: The Curse Of Fatal Death & Time Crash

Before we get into the proper Doctor Who episodes, let's not forget two other projects that came from the mind of Steven Moffat.

Firstly, there's his maiden voyage into the franchise, 1999's Comic Relief sketch The Curse of Fatal Death. Although a parody rather than a serious Doctor Who story, it still showcased Moffat's ability to write for the Doctor and his knowledge of the show's lore. He's poking fun at all that stuff but it never feels mean-spirited, and you can tell that he absolutely loves it – which makes it very enjoyable to watch!

Moffat then penned another charity sketch in the form of 2007's Time Crash. This minisode saw the Tenth and Fifth Doctors cross paths in the TARDIS and once again showcased Moffat's extensive knowledge and love of Doctor Who, making playful references to the Mara, Nyssa, and Tegan, among other things. It's basically an excuse for Moffat (and David Tennant) to geek out with a favourite classic Doctor of his, and once again, that passion permeates the screen.

Both these specials are such good fun, and though for obvious reasons they aren't included in the main ranking, they're significant contributions from Moffat, and deserved a mention!
