A former version of this site showcased a lot of work first published in Panini UK's Doctor Who Magazine; much of that has been taken offline as of limited widespread interest, but the Script Doctors series of interviews with the writers for the returning show's first three seasons remains available.
Previously unpublished material...
Rona Munro - the writer of the final story in the classic Doctor Who series run, Survival - has rarely been interviewed on the subject of Doctor Who and her involvement in it, despite her high profile in other spheres including successful, lauded and award-winning work in the theatre and in cinema. However, David obtained an interview with Rona in 2007 and that interview is now online at this site. Also up here now is a full version of an interview conducted with Murray Gold on the occasion of his Doctor Who Proms concert in the summer of 2008.
