Former Doctor Who script editor Andrew Cartmel offers a frank and revealing view of his time on the program. For fans, this book is a particularly detailed insight into an important area of the show's history. For those with a wider interest in the creative processes of television drama, it is a fascinating account of the individual's creative vision at odds with the machinery of broadcasting.
‘Script Doctor’ is based on Cartmel diaries written sometimes on set and sometimes not even in the diary itself but on the back of scripts. Illustrated with 32 pages of photographs, many of them not published before, this is a vivid account of life in the Doctor Who production office in the late eighties.
Foreword by the Seventh Doctor, Sylvester McCoy. New to this edition: Introduction by Doctor Who Producer Stephen Moffat, Afterword by Doctor Who Companion Sophie Aldred (Ace), and additional illustrations.
222 pp; color illustrations. Epilogue, Coda, Doctor Who Audition Pieces for the 7th Doctor. With a reproduction of a few pages of Cartmel's original notes.
