Production NOTES
Target author and former showrunner Russell T Davies recalls an anxious moment, 13 years ago…
What? What?? Doctor Who wants me back?! I knew it. I KNEW IT! Falling apart without me! Oh, it was only a matter of time. I’ve sat here and waited, I’ve done nothing else, and boy oh boy, I’ve got plans, big plans, I’m bringing back Gadget, and…
What?
Oh.
Doctor Who Magazine wants me back.
Okay.
Hello, faithful reader. It actually went like this: Chris Chibnall said to me, “It’s 13 years since Rose, and the Thirteenth Doctor is coming, so, y’know, 13, that’s the link, off you go.”
I said, “Isn’t that bit tenuous?”
He said, “Don’t argue darling,” and turned off the bedroom light, so here we are.
