Follow That Trebuchet
After making a list of the age of the actors who played the Doctor, I thought what better use of my time could I possibly have than to make a list of all the companion actors ages as well? So, here’s a lovely long list! It’s less detailed than the Doctors one due to there…

How old was Colin Baker when he played the Doctor? It's a slightly trickier question to answer than it looks at first glance. Do you mean when he was cast? When shooting began? His cameo in Androzani, or his first proper episode? Or maybe when his first episode was actually broadcast? There isn’t much difference,…

These days between Christmas and New Year's always feel a bit weird for me, all tucked away and quiet and leaving a great deal of time to reflect, and then feel vaguely ghastly about how another year is gone, it really *really* isn't 1998 any more, and what exactly did I do with the last…
Hidden Depths, a new Ninth Doctor boxset starring Christopher Eccleston came out last month and I was lucky enough to write the first story on the set! It's available now on the Big Finish website. In my story, The Seas of Titan, the Doctor arrives on Saturn's most fascinating moon just as an incredible discovery…
Master! Nemesis Express, the second Big Finish release featuring Eric Roberts’ Master was out last month, and I’m thrilled to have written the second story on the set. And I’m still a little shocked that no-one objected to my first title suggestion, which I almost meant as a joke, but not quite: Capture the Chronovore!…
Since I last wrote an update on lovely writing things, I've had a whole three audios out from Big Finish featuring various wonderful parts of the Whoniverse. The Outlaws, a First Doctor and Dodo adventure was out in April; Boundaries, a War!Master story was out at the beginning of June, and Peake Season, a whimsical…
As ever, an incredibly untimely update on what I've written for Big Finish: Firstly, last week saw the release of the second Eighth of March boxset, Protectors of Time, which celebrates International Women's Day with three stories written, directed, and starring women. I wrote Stolen Futures, which has Romana and K-9 adventuring in E-Space just…
It's always so weird coming back from Gallifrey. It's only been a few days since I got home (or it was when I started writing this post *ahem*), but the convention seems like a whole other world. And re-entry into Real Life is tricky, and quite a hit emotionally. But it's always worth it. And…
It's only February but I feel like I've more Big Finish news to share from the past six weeks than I've had in any other year. So far, one story has been released and three more have been announced. So, here's all the lovely news that I have: First up was last week's announcement that…

With so many Doctor Who companions, some are bound to be given more love and attention than others. Sometimes this occurs correctly because, yes, they are that awesome (*cough*Barbara*cough*) and sometimes it makes you tut your head sadly (...I shall be diplomatic and name no-one). And sometimes you're simply overcome with woe that truly great…
