an icepick through the keyhole

Congratulations are in order for Steven Moffat, who won the British Academy Television Award (BAFTA) for Best Writer, for the Doctor Who series 3 episode, "Blink", beating out such luminaries as Jimmy McGovern (for The Street), Tony Marchant (for The Mark of Cain) and Heidi Thomas (for Cranford). "Blink" had already won a BAFTA Cymru (the Welsh BAFTAs) for Moffat earlier.
