I’m a big fan of boy/girl combination companions, I think that dynamic works very well, but there’s all sorts of things to explore! We’ve never had the Doctor only with a male companion, wouldn’t that be interesting? Or a female Doctor with two girl companions (where is this going???)
I’m hungry, what should I eat?
Your roommate!
Mark Gatiss, everyone.
I’M TRYING TO THINK OF A SMART QUESTION FOR MARK BUT I’M TOO IN LOVE WITH HIM TO FOCUS AND I CAN’T THINK OF ANYTHING AND OH MY GOD WHAT DO YOU ASK TO ONE OF YOUR IDOLS I HAVE TOO MANY STUPID QUESTIONS THAT AREN’T EVEN REAL QUESTIONS BUT MY BRAIN IS A PUDDLE AND YEAH WHAT EVEN IS PUNCTUATION AND THANK YOU @luckyonesjournal FOR LISTENING TO MY RAMBLINGS ABOUT HOW MUCH I LOVE HIM AND OK I’M GOING TO CALM DOWN NOW I CAN DO IT
Recommend a book please?
ALL MINE. Available from all good charity shops.
Do you ever think of a world without Doctor Who and what your life would be like?
It would be a dark time, a time of chaos. There was such a time, as the show wasn’t on the air for 16 years! But it never really went away, and I think it never really will!
Mark, WHY DO YOU LIKE TO BREAK PEOPLE INTO LITTLE PIECES UNTIL THERE’S VIRTUALLY NOTHING LEFT OF THEM??
Have you been reading my e-mails?
Mr. Gatiss, do you have any advice for aspiring writers? How does one overcome a particularly bad bout of writers block?
I take long hot baths or go running. It’s also good to have another project on the go so you can turn to that when you’re blocked, and hopefully it’ll unblock your head! That or tea!
if you can have a dinner with someone dead or alive,who would be?
Definitely someone alive, as corpses tend to put you off your starter.
Your best writing tip?
Keep going, work through the pain, it may seem like a joyless miserable exercise, but that’s because it is! Until you get the breakthrough moment and everything’s alright again.
In three words, how would you describe the feeling you experience when you sit down to a blank Doctor Who script? What advice would you give for those who wish to be in the same position one day?
Joy, terror, anticipation. Advice: write write write!
