A new Rose Tyler series! Yes. And I’m writing the first one,
The Endless Night.
Imagine my excitement when I opened up an email from Matt
Fitton (‘Top secret new series thing’) inviting me to pitch a story for a brand
new series all about Rose’s dimension-hopping adventures between Doomsday and Partners in Crime. Featuring not just Billie Piper as Rose, but the
return of Camille Coduri as Jackie, Shaun Dingwall as Pete and the legendary
Mark Benton as Clive.
(Yes, I know Clive was killed in Rose. But in science-fiction, there’s always a way of coming back)
I can’t really say any more, although I could describe to
you the dance of happiness I did when I received the email. I got up from this
chair I am sitting in now and sort of did a Davy Jones-style saunter into the
sitting room, where I told my wife I had some exciting news that I couldn’t
tell her, and then I sashayed into the kitchen, back to the sitting room and
back into my office chair. That was the dance I did.
I had to do another little dance when I got to the point of
writing scenes with ROSE, PETE, JACKIE and CLIVE in them. It was so exciting.
And so much fun. The characters are so vivid and funny, all I had to
do was put them in the same room and type out what they said.
So, please check out the press release here. There’s also a
video trailer here which includes a few moments from my story. Yes, Billie
Piper, saying my words. Amazing.
In other news – there is always other news – there’s now a
blurb up for my forthcoming Doctor Who adventure,
The Kamelion Empire. Featuring the
fifth Doctor, Tegan, Turlough and Kamelion. You can read it here.
And check out the latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine. Not only is there another Blog of Doom – (‘Not
as bad as it used to be’) but I’m interviewed about my other forthcoming Doctor Who adventure, The Crash of the UK-201.
It’s all go. Anyway, enough blogging, back to twitter.
