Very sad news. "Gangsters" is an outstanding piece of television, and he contributed to so many other things I loved then and now. And he was a lovely man to talk to as well. Thoughts are with his friends and family.

RIP Philip. Thanks for all that amazing entertainment.

I really admired his Star Cops story and sorry to hear he's passed away.

His "Star Cops" was excellent, and he also wrote the first episode of "Virtual Murder", ("Meltdown To Murder"), about melting paintings, which I thought was the best one.

"Gangsters" was a superb series, which had some amazing surreal moments, so when I heard he was going to write for "Doctor Who", I was really pleased because I thought he had the perfect style for it.

A great loss.

R.I.P.
