Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

Former Doctor Who writer and script editor Eric Saward has been busy in the Doctor Who world in recent times, with novelisations of his two Dalek stories finally out – and appearing in Target paperback in March next year – and his new comic around his creation, Gustav Lytton. Guest writer Ian Winterton chatted with him about the show and his work on it:

Sometimes the scripts needed me to work on them a lot, which got very annoying. Sometimes ideas that you’d like to go with yourself required so much work – you had to get the writers out of the way in order to get the scripts to work. I got to the stage several times, unfortunately, where I had to say to writers that I couldn’t have them writing for the show again. I needed someone who could deliver to me a more complete script.
