Stephen Gallagher blog

The internet gives Doctor Who much, much love.  Anything you want to know about DW is on here somewhere.

As readers of DTM know, I have a serious relationship with Tom Baker-era Doctor Who.  (I keep hearing about young Americans watching the new series and loving it.  This is most gratifying, although I haven't seen much of it myself yet.)

A kindly sage has notified me that  Stephen Gallagher has a blog.  Gallagher wrote  the scripts to "Warriors Gate" and "Terminus," and also did the Target Novelisations under the name John Lydecker.

"Warrior's Gate" is famously controversial among fans (as a kid I didn't understand it at all).  As soon as I have a moment I want to see it again.  "Terminus" (starring not Baker but Peter Davidson) was a pretty good serial but -- as I recall from over twenty years ago -- a really great YA book.  After reading his blog, I plan to acquire some of Gallagher's recent writing.

This terrific post confirms and strengthens my feelings about modern CGI technology versus old-school imagination.
