Jon ArnoldJon has written for a frankly daft number of fanzines down the years and his work has appeared in print in Time Unincorporated 3, Outside In and both Shooty Dog Thing books, the latter of which he co-edited. He lives in Newport with his wife, son, dog and a vast collection of books and music which seems intent on colonising first his house and then the world in a Krynoid fashion. He's probably best sampled in 140 character doses on Twitter.

Owing to the nature of my article I have literally nothing to add here (despite trying to think of something for several minutes!) However the opportunity to plug The Projected Picture Trust again is one I can’t possibly pass up so below is a link to our website. You can visit us at Bletchley Park at the weekends and if you’re really unlucky you might even find yours truly slaving over a hot Steenbeck! A year’s free membership to anyone who turns up with an Ernemann 1 lens holder to donate!

Andrew BlairAndrew Blair is a freelance writer. He mainly contributes to Den of Geek, but has also written for other things such as The Terrible Zodin fanzine, Radio 4 Extra, and the St Johnstone Matchday Programme. He has a beard, and can frequently be found venting spleen on Twitter in lieu of just hiding in the corner and howling like The Lukoser. He isn't very good at writing biographies.

Nicholas BlakeWhen not working in a library, Nicholas Blake enjoys spending his free time organising and cataloguing his collections of books, DVDs, and Doctor Who tat, as well as ssh-ing people who talk in his presence. In Doctor Who circles he's known for editing and co-writing Planet of the Ming Mongs, a fanzine celebrating Doctor Who fandom, which might just get a second issue out one of these decades.

Since taking that first journey out of Bag End with Bilbo, he has traveled with the Doctor, hitchhiked with Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect, been a crew member aboard the USS Enterprise, walked under an eldritch moon toward R'yleh and entered the realms of the Sandman numerous times. Anthony has had articles published on a variety of topics, in collections such as The J.R.R. Encyclopedia, Celebrate, Regenerate!, his first book, the first in the Mythological Dimensions series, The Mythological Dimensions of Doctor Who, and the second volume in the series, The Mythological Dimensions of Neil Gaiman.
Anthony is currently at work, with his wife Jessica, on their 3rd book consisting of weird short stories and displays his geek pride on his blog: Comfy Chair Our Journey through the Stories of Time & Space. |
David Busch
David Busch has spent quite a ridiculous number of hours following the travels of the Doctor in his lifetime; He regrets none of it. He has worked as an animation producer, a voice actor, a video editor/compositor, and is the creator of the terrifying claymation monster, "Gulp!" He is extremely happily married to his beautiful wife Cadry, and is a proud manservant to his two cats, Spike and Jezebel. He became vegan about 5 years ago, and has never felt better about himself and his effect upon the world. In 2011, David directed an animated reconstruction of the Doctor Who episode "Mission to the Unknown", which he hopes you will all be able to see in the future.

Paul Butler |
Paul Butler is a life-long Doctor Who, fantasy film and television fan. He lives in Fareham, Hampshire with his wife Kim and teenage children Mark and Neil, earning a crust as the Marketing Manager of Ferneham Hall the local arts and entertainments centre. Aside from watching the series religiously since about 1965, Paul has done nothing Who-related in his 49 years on this Earth save for spending two days camping in the grounds of Longleat for the 20th Anniversary Celebration and writing an unfinished adventure for Colin Baker's Doctor (including the lines “Do … do … DO! What could you possibly do?”). This lack of involvement in fandom is about to change ... can't say what it is … everyone will find out about it in 2012. However, I can say that it’s going to be cool ... definitely!

Cliff ChapmanCliff Chapman is an actor, writer and director, born in Leicester, raised in the Isle of Man and now living in London. He is a regular reader of short stories at Liar's League (and on judging panel), and a regular performer at Player Playwrights, as well as acting and directing on several occasions for Fantom Audios. Doctor Who is basically 'his football', with all the excitement, passion, frustration, needless expense and head full of pointless facts that entails. He'll do you a damn good voiceover.

Lewis ChristianLewis Christian is currently studying Creative Writing at Edge Hill University in the UK. At present, he writes various reviews on his blog and spends much of his spare time posting insane theories on Doctor Who forums. His dream is to travel the world and write freelance – though this may be somewhat difficult without a free ride in a TARDIS. He also has a habit of appearing slightly blurry.

Andrew ClancyI’m a happy middle aged Doctor Who obsessive!
Actually to be fair I’m not quite so obsessive these days as I simply don’t have the time. In recent years I’ve got married and had two children and so it’s more Peppa Pig than Doctor Who on our television these days! However, I’m still a huge fan of the show and try and watch it as often as I can. I’ve always loved the Doctor Who theme music and am still a massive fan of anything TARDIS related. I even had a TARDIS console room themed bedroom (complete with console) for a few months in the early 90’s when my room was being used as a set in a fan-vid that my best friend and I (along with other victims) put together. I also love |
incidental music, all sorts of it, not just the Doctor Who stuff. Over the last 6 years or so I’ve composed an original score for the aforementioned fan-vid and also a complete score for a Planet Skaro audio play. I am due to provide more music for Planet Skaro and hope to do more bits and pieces whenever I can.
Back in the real world I’m a civil servant and a jazz pianist. |
Louise CollinsLouise Collins deals with the daily disappointment of not being a cat by worshipping the furry little fiends. Watching Pyramids of Mars as a child gave birth to a love of both Ancient Egypt and Doctor Who. She has lots of experience at getting yelled at on a daily basis, through working both in the media and careers advice. Her Desert Island Disc would be either ‘Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter’ by Iron Maiden, or ‘Non Je Regrette Rein’ by Edith Piaf.

Kevin Jon Davies
Kevin Jon Davies animated for the 1981 series of Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy, designed the titles for Terrahawks and spent a year at Walt Disney on Who Framed Roger Rabbit, followed by five more in commercials, blending animation with live action. He escaped the drawing board in the mid-90s directing BBC documentaries The Making of Hitchhiker’s Guide and (More Than) Thirty Years in the Tardis. He’s met and outlived most of his heroes and feels it’s about time someone else made a documentary about him. It might be his son Liam, who seems to be following in his footsteps.
|
Liam DaviesLiam was recently described as a ‘well spoken, opinionated rocker geek’. Nuff said really. His first experience of Doctor Who was at a very early age, when visiting the set of his dad’s 1993 documentary, More Than Thirty Years in the Tardis, and breaking the balls off of one of the Daleks. These days, when not playing the guitar, seeing friends or listening to 80s metal, Liam finds himself working towards a black belt in Karate and the inevitable dream career in film or television production.

Alister DavisonAlister has been watching Doctor Who since a tall bloke in a long scarf played the Time Lord, capturing his heart and imagination. He read Target books in the days before video recorders, and started writing his own stories. Too many years later, he’s realised other people might want to read his words. Having had a short story published by the British Fantasy Society, he is currently putting the finishing touches on the first book of a fantasy trilogy. Alister also reviews books Starburst Magazine and the Fantasy-Faction website.

Greg DunnNot the only Doctor Who fan in Estonia, I've discovered, but certainly the only lifelong one (by dint of having grown up with it Monday-Thursday teatimes in Australia).
Published author, with my name on the spine of a handful of books, none of which are worth linking to unless someone expresses an interest in the vaguaries of the Estonian education system ;-) And, er, I've got a Eurovision blog if anyone's interested...? |
Vivienne Dunstan
Vivienne Dunstan is, as her profile says on Twitter, an academic historian, a genealogist, a former computer scientist, and a Doctor Who fan. Of those the last may be the most prominent on a day to day basis! She is currently turning her PhD thesis into more academic journal papers. For an example of a recent journal paper see
[http://www.euppublishing.com/doi/abs/10.3366/shr.2012.0102] As well as academic publishing she has written a number of pieces for fanzines, and is always blethering on Twitter. |
