Vinay Patel wrote the television story Demons of the Punjab, for series 11 of Doctor Who.
He was the second person of colour to contribute a script to Doctor Who (in release order), after Malorie Blackman.
Patel's Doctor Who debut focused on the Partition of India in 1947. He told Radio Times:
"If there was one thing keeping me up at night more than anything, it was figuring out how to tell this story in a way that didn’t feel like it was disrespectful of the seriousness of it. [...] I feel we did a good job of making this episode the story of the people who are our guest characters, and that felt important of me: to give them the balance of the episode.[1]"
As a member of the writer's room for that series, he also took part in planning for other episodes. After possible titles for episode 4 were discussed by the team, Patel suggested Arachnids in the UK, which became the final title. His idea was a reference to the Sex Pistols song, Anarchy in the U.K.. (DWM 531)
He also wrote the short story Letters from the Front for The Target Storybook.
