This is just a short fan note for Russell T Davis. Some of the more recent Doctor Who's have had their dodgy moments (witness the AWFUL accent of the Talula and some of the stereotype behaviour of the characters in "Evolution of the Daleks"), but the two parter "Human Behaviour" / "Family of Blood" was a classic.
Really thoughtful, moving, touching stuff - making the most of the vast canvas a format like Doctor Who can allow you to paint on. Good for Russell for having the idea to turn this Doctor Who novel into one of the TV shows.

I haven't gotten to those two episodes yet, but checking IMDB reveals that they were in fact written by Paul Cornell.
In general, I have preferred episodes in the recent series that were written by others, in particular Steven Moffat (Coupling) whose episode Blink is coming up this weekend. Cheers!
Yeah I can't wait to see "Blink", or finally see the much "advance trailed" appearance of John (Life on Mars) Sim as The Master. He is such a great actor.
