Into the 1980s and 1990s, he wrote for multiple series, such as Heartbeat, El C.I.D., Boon and See You Friday.
In the 2000s, Whiting wrote for the period swashbuckler The Scarlet Pimpernel and Steel River Blues. "The Darkness of Light", one of his Wire in the Blood episodes, was nominated for an Edgar Award for Best Television Feature Or Mini-Series Teleplay in 2005.[3][4]
