I also remembered to strike off Ewan Armstrong, who hasn't written anything since 05, Dan Sefton because of 'Delicious', and then Michael Hirst off, given 'Vikings'. How he writes every single episode I have no idea, but kudos.

And I'm crossing off the two Morris', as they haven't written anything in forever (Peter not since 07).
Also, Jane Hudson and Richard Stokes as they're primarily producers, not writers, and Stokes has his hands full with 'Silent Witness'.

According to DoctorFreedom (though I haven't found it anywhere), there was a murmur months back that Ed Hime would write an episode. He's done some Skins but is primarily a radio writer.
Naturally, I take this with a salt mine but there's also a part of me that wouldn't be shocked if this was possible. Hime is such a random choice for a rumour: you'd think the person would go for someone bigger like Julian Fellows or William Nicholson if he wanted to generate some ink. Plus, he'd be on the cheaper end for writers if the Beeb allowed Chibbs his American-style writer's room.

''From the depths, I command you, ARISE!''
Figured it's not a bad time to bring this one back and talk about writers you'd like to see for S13, since we know we've got Alderton and the new Scheme winner on it. Since this thread's original heyday, it seems that Chibbs' commitment to a diverse mix of writers has held true, so I think it opens up the field of candidates even more.
Some who I think'd be good for the show: Levi David Addai - original showrunner of Noughts + Crosses, before Whithouse, and the writer of Damilola: Our Loved Boy. Like Vinay Patel, a writer who leans into heritage and isn't afraid to discuss complex cultural subjects with his audience. Imagine a pure historical from this guy. Sarah Phelps: helmer of recent BBC Christie adaptations, and had worked with Chibbs on Camelot. Pale Horse, whatever you thought of the ending, had this great Holmesian spookiness and gothic sensibility to it. Sally Wainwright: hey, she's probably the most respected and successful female TV writer of the moment, with an unmistikable style and love of the North (very handy for our Doctor and companion(s).

I do not know if he is good as a writer but I would like Andrew Ellard to be involved in some capacity since he already was a script editor for the BBC. His points on Twitter are often quite interesting.
