Today

[altariel]

So I was just on the Today programme on Radio 4 talking very briefly about Doctor Who. Catch me if you can, 8.23ish, here.

ETA: I'm reliably told it's on at 2hr 26mins and 30 secs.

ETA2: Now has its own link. Thanks parrot_knight!

Yes, James Naughtie mentioned fan writing! That's what I thought I was on to talk about, actually, but reading the programme summary before I went on air, I realized it was just Doctor Who they wanted to talk about. I'm not sure he'd been given the best brief, to be honest.

I think for those of us who are familiar with fan writing you did make the point about how the story of Doctor Who carries on regardless of its original makers, but it would have been interesting -- and fun for my geeky heart! -- to hear it address more directly on main stream radio.

Naomi Alderman did a half-hour programme about fanfic recently, but unfortunately it's not available any longer. Here's the link though: it might turn up again.
