Right now, a whole bunch of executive producers and writers are working on the next seasons of their shows. For the first time in months, they have time to think, reconsider, re-tool and generally improve their show.

So this week’s question is a chance to delve into fantasy writing league:
Imagine you’re the showrunner of your favourite TV show – what changes would you make to the show to make it better for next season and why?
As always, leave your answers below or link to your response on your own blog.

I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
