Steven Moffat has just hit the magic list of "scriptwriters whose work I will deliberately hunt down". He wrote three Hugo-winning episodes for Doctor Who--"The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances", "Girl in the Fireplace", and "Blink"[1]--and they are amazing stuff.
I just rented BBC's Jekyll from Elgin Street Video, on the strength of it being (1) BBC TV and (2) on their Highly Recommended wall. Modern-day ?retelling? ?reworking? ?follow-up? to Stevenson's classic Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
I found out as the opening credits rolled that it was also written by Steven Moffat.
I'm half an hour in. It's beautiful.

[1] The awards for 2007 haven't come out yet. I'm astoundingly sure about "Blink" anyway.
