My favourite Mark Gatiss TV episodes would probably be The Unquiet Dead and Cold War. Empress of Mars wouldn't be too far behind though. I found those three stories very enjoyable. I choose to ignore his Dalek story as; 1) I think it's rubbish and 2) those abominations of Daleks! (Reason No.2 possibly being a large part of reason No.1.) What were they called at the time? The colors of Benetton Daleks? I never heard that - though Tellytubby Daleks, Skittles Daleks and Plastic Daleks seemed to be among the ones going round.

To Moffat's credit, the new paradigm Daleks were dropped like a hot potato. Thankfully! I've known quite a few creative types over the decades who think they fart gold dust and would dig in hard over the kind of backlash those "new" Daleks got and would not back down over it. Seriously, give Moffat credit for knowing something didn't work and retreating as quickly as he did.

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.
