THE SEVENTH DOCTOR'S ERA IS REMEMBERED IN THE NEW ISSUE OF DOCTOR WHO MAGAZINE!
Former Doctor Who script editor Andrew Cartmel examines how the series was reinvented for a new generation…
In an exclusive feature for DWM, Andrew catches up with the writers he employed back in the late 1980s, when he was the script editor of Doctor Who. Stephen Wyatt, Malcolm Kohll and Ian Briggs reveal what it was like writing the show then – and discuss how their stories paved the way for the modern reinvention of the show.
What does Ian Briggs think of Doctor Who today? "I think it's fantastic. Russell T Davies' approach was a vivid re-imagining, taking the basic principles and doing them in a way TV is now made instead of just continuing from the 1980s... That's the great achievement of Russell T Davies – and Steven Moffat, since he took over. Stylistically in both senses, technical style and storytelling style, the show is bang up to date...."
