JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED After a few months off during which I have slept and stuff, Who’s Round is back… and it’s about time (etc etc). It’s certainly about time we had a Doctor. Most Doctors have been interviewed loads, so of course I have gone for one with a unique claim to the…
A key contributor to a story who didn’t appear on its DVD release, this villainous fellow turns out to be charming, chatty and slightly eccentric – and all the more interesting for it. My friend Peter and I drove to the coast in order to spend a windswept afternoon over a pint or two with…

Doctor Who is back on air tomorrow so it’s appropriate (though entirely coincidental and completely unplanned) that we talk to someone who works on the show even today and in a key capacity.
