Mark Gatiss is one of modern day Doctor Who's more prolific writers having written a total of nine stories for three Doctors.

The Unquiet Dead (2005)
The Idiot's Lantern (2006)
Victory of the Daleks (2010)
Night Terrors (2011)
Cold War (2013)
The Crimson Horror (2013)
Robot of Sherwood (2014)
Sleep No More (2015)
Empress of Mars (2017)

Despite his undoubted talent as showcased throughout his career from The League of Gentlemen to Sherlock, his Doctor Who output has been divisive to say the least. So with that anyone who's interested feel free to rank his nine stories from best to worst.

For the record here's my list.

Empress of Mars (2017)
The Unquiet Dead (2005)
Victory of the Daleks (2010)
Cold War (2013)
The Crimson Horror (2013)
Night Terrors (2011)
The Idiot's Lantern (2006)
Sleep No More (2015)
Robot of Sherwood (2014)

I really enjoyed tonight's episode Empress of Mars and find Victory of the Daleks very underrated. In fact only Sleep No More and Robot of Sherwood border on poor in my opinion, but even they have their moments.

I have no real reason for composing this post (well Mojo gave me the idea actually) except as a bit of fun. I wouldn't call Gatiss a favourite of mine, (he's just prolific). In fact i wouldn't call any of the new series writers favourites or at least not favourites in a Robert Holmes/John Lucarotti /Terry Nation sense.
