The idea behind it (for which I cannot take credit) is to do
blogs/diary entries/interviews with overlooked characters from Doctor Who. The guard who is knocked out,
the bystander who says “They went that way”. They might be
villains or monsters, or just a tramp who cycles into a ditch in surprise.
Basically, it’s doing the same sort of thing I did for the Daleks, the Cybermen and the Master in previous issues, which all proved fairly popular.
I hope people enjoy it. If they do, I’m happy to keep
writing them. Of course, given that it is replacing a long-running feature which
was curtailed prematurely (nothing to do with me and I’m not going to talk
about it) I know that some people may come to it with their arms folded and an
air of “What the hell is this, then? Is this trying to be funny?” I completely
understand and appreciate that. I can only ask that people bear with it for a
few months, because everything needs a little time to get into its groove. And
it is only one page!
