 INSIGHT
What Animals do you hate?
Dogs (I do like dogs, but I hate psychopathic ones like Yorkshire Terriers)
Which Hartnell era monster do you most aspire to?
The Monoids, because they tried to be do something different with them (and I like their hair).
Coffee or chocolate?
Neither. Coffee because of my faith. Chocolate because of a misspent childhood resulting in fillings.
Ideal job?
Film-maker/writer.
Have you invaded Poland?
Who told you?
Is fast food evil?
Probably. But it's cheap, fast and (just about) edible.
Have you ever been accused of a crime of fashion?
No. I don't care or understand about fashion.
Have you seen anything supernatural and / or been kidnapped by aliens?
Sadly, I'm still waiting for aliens to come and take me away from it all...
What is your cure for writers block?
I wait for it to go away. Advice from friends/books/websites don't seem to work for me.
What's the worst fan fiction you have ever written?
A story where the Seventh Doctor met Sherlock Holmes, but it was Data and LaForge from Next Generation on their holodeck. (I cringe just thinking about it). It was the first story I ever wrote - wisely the fanzine editor I sent it to didn't publish it... I think. You know, I can't remember if he did now. I choose to remember that he didn't print it.
Of all that's archived on Timelord and RF, what's the thing you're proudest of contributing?
I think I conveyed some good emotional material in my episode of Journey - it seemed that all the authors involved, tapped into that vibe from the first part of the story.
What happened in the year you were fourteen?
Mikhail Goberchev became President of the USSR - which eventually led to the dissolution of Communist Russia. Which I think was a good thing in the long run.
If you could be any age again, what would it be?
Five, so that I could persuade myself to brush my teeth.
If you could visit any moment in history what would it be?
Hmmm. Dunno. Maybe see the Berlin wall coming down. No, wait I've thought of something much better: I'd love to have seen Jimi Hendrix perform live, either at the Isle of Wight festival or Woodstock. I don't think anyone before or since has ever played a guitar so well.
What crossover story should never be made... ever?
Doctor Who meets Andromeda
How can rubbish like that get continually renewed when quality like Firefly gets canned?
If you ruled the world, who would be first against the wall?
The Execs at Warner Brothers who cancelled Angel. The series just spoke to me as a twenty-something. It asked the same questions that I do about where do I fit in and how can I help make the world a better place.
What would your entry in the Encyclopaedia Galactica say about you?
The man who looked like he was having an epileptic fit whilst climbing a rubber ladder in BBV's Cyberon video.
Borg or Cybermen?
Cybermen. The Borg may have the budget and come across scarier (until the Trek producers lost it and made them too human), but the Cybermen having a totally blank appearance, and yet at the same time display human-like appearance still sends shivers down my spine. An example of this is that whilst working on a Cyberman fan video I totally forgot that people I knew were inside those costumes.
If you were a Doctor Who Title which one would you be?
The Creature from the Pit. Ask anyone who knows me, I'm terrible at getting up in the morning.
Should any Twin Peaks fans who survived the purge be arrested?
Why should there be a purge? I enjoyed the series - who cares if it makes sense or doesn't answer it all at the end? The characters and the plots made it compelling for me.
Which missing Who story would you most like to be refound?
Marco Polo - this one might actually live up to it's reputation based on the surviving soundtrack.
Who would play you in a cheap BBC drama about your life?
I'd play myself (because I *am* cheap).
Computer games?
The only game I've completed was Quake II and that was using infinite life cheat. I've been playing UFO: Enemy Unknown (AKA UFO: Alien Defense) on and off for about five years and still haven't beaten it. Damn those aliens! Basically, I'm useless at computer games.
What would you like on your epitaph?
He meant well.
PG or 18?
18
Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori?
Is this something to do with polls? Aren't MORI the people who compile TV ratings?
Have you ever been, or are you now, a member of a Communist organisation?
I voted Labour because I'm a Yorkshireman. Does that count?
What is the best word?
"Ambiguous"
When did you first get involved with this online group?
Probably just after the beginning. I knew people involved.
Half-empty or half-full?
Half-full. I'm generally optimistic.
