Doctor Who Interview | Phil Ford
Description
Send us a text and let us know what you think of our podcast!
In advance of the 2023 wave of Doctor Who Target novels, including his own adaptation of a classic episode, we're joined this week by a name many will recognise from his vast contributions to the worlds of Doctor Who - Phil Ford!
Phil has been involved in Doctor Who for many years now - working first on Torchwood's second season, then moving to the Sarah Jane Adventures on which he eventually took on Head Writer duties. Afterwards he went on to create another hit TV series: Wizards vs Aliens! What a career!
For Doctor Who, Phil co-wrote the penultimate Tenth Doctor story The Waters of Mars with Russell T Davies which gave us a terrifying glimpse of the 'Time Lord Victorious' and quickly became a fan favourite.
Due for release in July 2023 is Phil's self-penned Target novelisation of The Waters of Mars. This adaptation expands and enriches what has been called the "scariest Doctor Who story ever"!
In our chat with Phil, we discuss many things including...
- #His start in TV
- Writing for Coronation Street
- Getting involved in Doctor Who
- Developing The Waters of Mars
- Creating The Flood and scaring kids with them
- Re-visiting his episode and writing the book
Plus we ask a few quickfire questions and challenge Phil to a game of The Grand Serpents Asteroid!
Oh, and we have a massive geek out over a shared love for Schwarzenegger as well!
