Oh, I don't mind at all - especially as they're all things with which I completely agree. I usually cite FoB/HN as my favourite nu-Who story overall for the reasons you say, but I decided to limit my episode-love to ones Rusty wrote.

I'm impressed by the way that Rusty's DW works on so many different levels. The kids could enjoy the heroics and the adults could appreciate the underlying complexities and the moral dilemmas as well.

Someday, my eldest will understand why I think Midnight is scarier than Blink.

ETA: Do seek out the other two shows I mentioned. I can't remember why I watched Casanova in the first place - I didn't really know who David or Rusty were, but I was hooked right away. And I hadn't expected to be, because I'd always seen Casanova as a bit of a bastard who used women. I'm not saying that the real Casanova wasn't like that - but the thing that stayed with me about RTD's fictional lover was that he was a man who really liked women - which I think is a rarer thing than one might think. It's well worth watching and I'm sure it must be readily available on DVD. PM me if you have trouble getting hold of it. And Bob and Rose, too - it's a great show with an unusual love story at the centre.
