Yes, I'm coming out of the TARDIS!

The best thing about going to work at BBC Television Centre...

 


I'm a fan, and I've even worked on it now!


To my page for 'The Time of the Daleks'

The three double CD adventures above had sound design by me.   

You can buy them from real shops and everything (but they're usually cheaper from here).

Click on the sleeves above to read more about how I came to work on them and what I actually did than you should ever care to know, frankly.


I've also had five short stories accepted for Doctor Who fiction collections produced by the same company that does the Doctor Who audios, Big Finish.  Click on the logos below to see them.

 

I'm sad enough to realise I am now one of only a handful of people who have written factually on the series (a piece for Doctor Who Magazine many moons ago and an essay in an academic book on the series, for more, see below), acted in it, worked behind the scenes on it and have written for it.

What a relief then that my involvement is only with the bits that weren't on telly and thus don't count.

You can read some rather dull notes on the stories behind the links above if you want.

Mark Michalowski (who's in three of the above short story collections himself) thinks I've written a Doctor Who novel too, here's the cover he made for it...

There is more of his 'artistry' here on his homepage.

 

Latest Doctor Who news from me is that you can read my rather grand introduction to a project the costume designer June Hudson undertook with a group of American students at the site here.  Proof positive that a picture is worth a  thousand words.

October 2007 finally saw publication of my chapter of the Manchester University Press book Time and Relative Dissertations in Space: Critical Perspectives on Doctor Who.

  

My contribution, The Filipino Army’s Advance on Reykjavik – World-building in Studio D and its Legacy, attempts to set out some of the technical constraints under which the initial run of Doctor Who was made and begin to explore how they may have influenced the programme's artistic direction.   You can see a full listing of the book's contents here.

 


Quick, let's get back to the rest of the site through this link here
