New Doctor Who Mag Writing-Fest!

Hey there, you!  Stop doing that, it's illegal.  I've written a whole load of stuff for the new Doctor Who Magazine, out today.  Thirteen whole pages of it.  As I always say, this is a shame for me, because it means there's less DWM for me to read.  There's still a great deal written by other people, mind you, including a big chat with Steven Moffat about Davros and Part Two of Simon Guerrier's interview with Millennium FX's Kate Walshe.  

Here's how my 13 pages break down:

Nine pages: my bumper interview with Toby Whithouse, the writer of recent spooky two-parter Under The Lake/Before The Flood (as well as previous stories like The God Complex and School Reunion) and the creator of Being Human and The Game.  This was the product of a chat which ended up being literally three hours long.  That Whithouse is a very patient man.

Two pages: my preview of this Saturday's Viking spectacular The Girl Who Died, with chatter from its co-writer Jamie Mathieson (who wrote last year's Flatline and Mummy On The Orient Express).  Like his mate Toby, Jamie lives in Brighton, which made it even more of a pleasure to stroll up London Road and quiz him for hours too.  There'll be much more from Jamie in next month's issue.

Two pages: my preview of highwayman-tastic The Woman Who Died, with quotes aplenty from scribe Catherine Tregenna, who previously wrote several episodes of Torchwood.  Infuriatingly and inconsiderately, Catherine does not live in Brighton, which meant I had to physically get a train and travel to Cardiff.  Outrageous. But she's lovely and, again, there'll be more from her next issue.

Yesterday, I interviewed another Series Nine writer at length, who was also lovely.  I also read a brilliantly mad script from later in this run, which flat-out blew my mind, but I won't even say which one, because Confidential.  Bye then!

    Hello!

    I'm a writer of stuff for the worlds of Doctor Who, Black Mirror and Friday The 13th.

    My latest novel is Ghoster. Before that was The Last Days Of Jack Sparks and the novella Beast In The Basement.

    My latest book is Taken Over By Something Evil From The TV Set: A History Of Britain's Video Nasties Controversy & Other Scary Journalism. Yeah, that's one long title.
