Jamie Mathieson wins but Steven Moffat is a close 2nd. Gatiss is the surprise loser, being bottom of my personal list.

Looking at the writer list, I'm surprised how many got a "And Steven Moffat" this year. I don't know if Moffat was writing in the extra bits with Danny and Clara, or whether it was more collaborative. I voted Moffat, because Listen was brill. Everything else he did was very enjoyable and Death In Heaven was so bonkers it doesn't matter.
Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

Usually I have to (sometimes reluctantly) admit that Moffat has managed to best everyone else. This year, though, and although it's probably very different to be writing 4+ episodes as an Exec as opposed to 2 episodes as a 'guest writer', I'm going with Tim, Mac & Paul and going for Jamie Matheson.
Doing 2 in the same run can be risky (although David Fisher managed it in the good old days, for one) but not only were both of Mr Matheson's stories very good indeed, they were each very different which suggests he has an ability to come up with different styles of story. Hopefully he'll be back next year.

Jamie Mathieson for his two scripts, with Moffat getting an honorable mention for 'Listen'.
