The man who magicked Dr Who back into existence is “the Scheherazade of Cardiff Bay,” according to Veronica Horwell in the Saturday Guardian.
Howell is reviewing Doctor Who: The Writer’s Tale, 512 pages of emails and texts flying between Davies and a confidant named Benjamin Cook.

He keeps Cook up all night at the far end of the broadband connection not just with the latest drafts (‘a simple planel of the black floor slides open, and the Tardis drops through, like a stone, gone –!’), but his ability to transform anything into a scene – a vile corporate press party, a sudden necessity to write round a real tragedy in his Crummles-like rep company – then pace those scenes into a tale.” Click here for the full review.
