Over at Kenny Smith’s Power of Three podcast, “the most lovely journalist in Britain” interviews me about Kingmaker, my unproduced script for the short-lived Richard E. Grant animated Doctor Who series, which was eventually put into production as the Paul McGann story Immortal Beloved for Big Finish.

I show up 40 minutes in, after Kenny has marshalled a bunch of readers to perform the original pitch, something that I haven’t even thought about for nearly twenty years. The interview takes in the story’s incredibly convoluted path to release, beginning with two men in a Brixton pub, trying to come up with a Strontium Dog script for Sanjeev Bhaskar, which somehow turns into Ian McNiece threatening to kill people, and Elspet Gray channelling my grandmother.
