2. Teaming Up With Writers
Okay, bear with me on this. I know that Gatiss isnt an especially loved writer of Doctor Who, but for me, I always love his episodes because they almost always take place in a specific period era. Thats what Doctor Who was built on getting children to learn about history and I love that Gatiss goes back to that. Okay, he fell short a bit with Cold War and the Crimson Horror, but that doesnt mean he cant come back with Wheatley as they are friends and knock it out of the park in Season 8? The only other person I want Ben Wheatley to do an episode with just to scare the pants off us all is Neil Gaiman. Now, dont get me wrong, that episode would be scary as all hell, but it would be wonderfully, amazingly, scary, an incredibly well written and well shot episode of Doctor Who. I can't even imagine what nightmare inducing monsters Gaiman would dream up and Wheatley would help make come to life. Just the thought of it has me slightly scared, and incredibly intrigued at the same time. And of course, there is also Moffat, who will no doubt be writing the series premiere episode, and who has been known to make some terrifying contributions to Doctor Who as well. With Moffat and Wheatley teamed up, really anyone teamed up with who has worked on Who so far, would make a fantastic pairing. Gatiss and Gaiman are just my personal picks.
