Favourite genius #2

Dear Steven Moffat,

When I was 15 and home alone one night when my parents were at rock n roll dancing lessons I turned on ABC (the Australian Broadcast Corporation, aka the only good channel on Australian free to air television) and a great and weird show called Coupling came on. The episode featured a very very drunk encounter between two of the main characters at a staff party, and the encounter was told from both male and female perspective and was the most hilarious thing I had ever seen.

When I started dating my current boyfriend and went over to his house I noticed he had the entire series of Coupling on DVD, so I borrowed it and watched them all in a week. I decided then and there that I would devote myself to the genius of one Mr. Steven Moffat.

The Curse of the Fatal Death is also one of the funniest things I have ever seen, not only did you demonstrate how much you love the coolest TV show in the world (Doctor Who) but you were able to parody it without making the show itself seem ridiculous. Also, my favourite episodes of the current series' of Doctor Who, without even realising it, are The Girl in the Fireplace, Silence in the Library, Forest of the Dead, Blink, the creepy World War II episodes with the "are you my mummy" kid, and almost all of series five and so far all of series six.

David Tennant's regeneration into Matt Smith was the greatest regeneration ever ("Arms, legs, chin, nose, ergh, had worse."). I am so glad you are now head writer of Doctor Who, it was getting pretty lame and embarrassing but now I'm proud to turn people onto it. Matt Smith is my Doctor and it's mostly because of your writing (a little because he's really cute and makes funny faces, but mostly your writing).

Then last year your series Sherlock finally aired in Australia. It was so good my parents even watched. Since then I have read more Sherlock Holmes books/stories than I thought there even were.

But Tin Tin is what I'm now waiting for with baited breath and it appears that it has no release date in Australia.

I cannot express in words how much in love with your brain I am so I'll stopping being creepy in a Steve Martin kind of way and just leave it at that. Please keep writing, I can't wait for what you do next (and for part one of series six of Doctor Who to end so I can start going on Twitter again without spoilers).

Your ever-loving fan-girl,
