Paul Cornell is a novelist and TV writer who’s working on the new series of Doctor Who. Wa-hey!

Martin Day was born just in time to watch episode four of "The Web of Fear," and his first creative encounter with television was getting a letter about "Castrovalva" read out on Noel Edmond’s Multi-Coloured Swap Shop. He’s not sure which fact is most scary. He has written or co-written eight books about television and six novels, most recently Doctor Who - The Sleep of Reason. Some of them are almost readable. Now concentrating on scriptwriting, he has written scripts for the BBC and Channel Five. He lives in Wessex with three humans, a cat, a chinchilla, a hamster, a snake, and numerous tropical fish. The RSPCA have been informed.

Keith Topping is the author of 35 books, including two editions of The Guinness Book of Classic British TV with Martin Day and Paul Cornell, and volumes on series as diverse as The X-Files, The Sweeney, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Roswell, The West Wing, Stargate SG-1 and 24. He has also written four novels (including the award-winning The Hollow Men) and a novella. His most recent books include A Vault of Horror: The Story of 80 Great British Horror Movies 1956-1974 and Slayer: The Last Days of Sunnydale. He is a contributor to both TV Zone and Shivers magazines and a former Contributing Editor of DreamWatch. Keith was born in Newcastle in 1963 on the same day that his beloved United lost 3-2 at home to Northampton Town. Things haven’t improved much since. He regularly appears on local radio and has contributed to the BBC television series I Love the 70s. Keith’s hobbies include socialising with friends, foreign travel, loud guitar-based pop music, football, cricket, social and military history and irking the purists. His autobiography, I’ve Had Her, will be published posthumously.
