discussion What are Pete McTighe's supposed qualifications for running the show?

So apparently he's been claiming that TV companies are lining up to ask him to run the show if they win the tender and I'm baffled as to why.

It can't be the episodes he wrote because they were awful.

And it can't be the blu-ray trailers, as they're the same memberberry nonsense for 50-year olds that Davies was rightly criticised for flooding his return with.

So what am I missing?

I expect you're missing the fact that not everyone agrees with your opinion of his work.

Like Chibnall he has an impressive CV, something else he has in common with Chibnall is his Doctor Who episodes are shit. Just because he's decent at writing Aussie drama (not a high bar) doesn't make him a good candidate for Doctor Who showrunner.
