Doctor Who has been a national institution since it first transmitted in 1963.  Those of us who knew and loved it until it ended its "classic" run in 1989 lived in fear of parody and ridicule in the wilderness years that followed. Not even that nice Paul McGann could make it cool in 1996 - although his arrival did allow us the first real possibility of a Doctor who might actually get laid.

Steven Moffat was to change all that. In March 1999, all our Doctors came at once. He was too handsome, too sexy, too shy, too kind, too brave and far, far too silly all in one evening. And he was Joanna Lumley. It was quite a night.

Not satisfied with creating the 'dream team' Doctor, Moffat wrote the award-winning double episode for the all new uber-cool series in 2005, and finally got Doctor Ten a shag (or at the very least a really serious dance) in 2006. Series 3 introduced The Weeping Angels, gave us wibbly wobbly timey-wimey stuff, and put The Moff in with a pretty good shot of winning his third Hugo in a row.

2008 delivered two BAFTA awards for Blink, and in May it was announced that Steven Moffat will be Lead Writer and Executive Producer for Series 5 of Doctor Who.
