Party Like It's 1983!

Some more Doctor Who writing news, and thanks again to the good people at Doctor Who Magazine for running another of my pieces. In fact, this one was especially flattering as they actually asked me to write it rather than me pitching it.

The magazine has recently started a new range of special editions, each taking a detailed look at a particular year in Doctor Who's history. The third and latest of these specials, out now, looks at 1983, for which I was asked to write a piece about the legendary 20th anniversary convention held by the BBC at Longleat House.

It was good fun to put together, especially gathering people's memories of the event. I hope you enjoy it if you're picking up a copy of the special, which came out a couple of weeks ago.

On another note, some publicity for the forthcoming release of The Long Game! Thanks to some of my interviewees kindly giving their permission for some audio clips of my chats with them to be used, we have put together a little trail for the book, which you can see here:

In addition, as a further little tease we have also released the contents page!

And I have been doing some podcast interviews about the book, too. One of these was released over the weekend, with an Australian podcast called The Doctor Who Show. Many thanks to them for having me on - the interview with Rob hopefully gives more of an idea for those who are curious about what the book is about, why I wrote it and who I spoke to for it, without giving too much away and spoiling it for anybody. It was good fun chatting to Rob, and you can take a listen here:

The Long Game is released by Ten Acre Films on November 1, and you can pre-order a copy via their website.
