Don't blink, it's a BAFTA!

Steven Moffat won Best Writer at last night's BAFTA Craft Awards for Blink, his third season episode of Doctor Who. He beat Tony Marchant (The Mark of Cain), Jimmy McGovern (The Street) and Heidi Thomas (Cranford).

Congratulations, Mr Moff! It's great to see something a little different take a top award, particularly as Blink was a standalone episode and the competitors were big ongoing series.

The meticulous plotting, inventiveness and scares in Blink were truly exceptional. I'm really looking forward to Moffatt's big two-part episode on Doctor Who in a few weeks, aren't you?
