Vinay Patel wrote the television stories Demons of the Punjab, for series 11 of Doctor Who, and co-wrote Fugitive of the Judoon for series 12 with Chris Chibnall.
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:
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.
