Post A Question To The Man Himself

Russell T. Davies, the head-writer and executive producer of Doctor Who has signed up with John Barrowman for an unmissable event. This Sunday, at the Cheltenham Literature Festival, joined alongside with Caitlin Moran, Russell T. Davies and John Barrowman will be speaking and answering questions all about the show. But, beforehand, will be an interview with the BBC News Channel. They will be interviewing just Russell, but they also want your question put into the mix as well. He will be interviewed live at the festival and you will be able to hear it at 4:20pm on the BBC News Channel. You are able to fill out a form, and send it off with the question to see if it is asked, and you can do that here! 

The main event will be held in the Centaur in Cheltenham betwenn 6:15pm and 7:30pm on Sunday. Please note that tickets are now sold out for it so please don't try on the website. Below you can see the main summarization for the event;

In a unique Festival event, we’re delighted to unite Russell T Davies, the reinventor of Doctor Who, and John Barrowman, known to millions of viewers as Captain Jack Harkness. From Daleks and the Doctor, to the Tardis and Torchwood, they join The Times’ Caitlin Moran for this unmissable event.

I will be going to the event and try to get their book signed on Sunday. If I can, I will take some pictures to post on the site. Is there anybody else going to this event?

The Writer's Tale - Website Features

The new website for Russell T. Davies' new book has lots of information about the book and great features! It is all very colourful and sparkling new, so take a look at it! The new book was released a couple of weeks ago, and contains an in-depth look at the new series of Doctor Who. It has such features like script pages, personal notes, never-before-seen photos and artwork with behind-the-scenes information. This book is a tribute to Russell's leaving from the show. Helping him to write it, and interviews with him, is Benjamin Cook, quite well known in the Doctor Who world for reviews, previews and general Who writing, with many sources, including Doctor Who Magazine and the Radio Times. You can visit the official website here. 

So, what is there on the site you ask? 

• About - Well, it gives you information about the book, Russell T. Davies and Benjamin Cook. 
  
• News and Reviews - There is a part with news about the book, which includes signing dates, places and times, plus reviews of the book. Here is an extract from one of the reviews; "What a wizard enterprise this is, 500 pages of emails and text messages between Russell T Davies, resuscitator, executive producer and head writer of Doctor Who, and his confidant Benjamin Cook. A few details have been deleted, such as the name of the actor scheduled to play the Doctor's companion had not Catherine Tate extended her guest role into 13 episodes, but otherwise, it's unabridged and, moreover, footnoted." There is an updated version of the signing dates and times in a newer post.
• Scripts - There is a fantastic bit that gives you access to six different scripts from the fourth series of Doctor Who! These scripts include the episodes Voyage of the Damned, Partners In Crime, Midnight, Turn Left, The Stolen Earth and Journey's End. These can be downloaded as PDFs and contain the whole scripts from these episodes.
• Buy - There is a part where you can buy it, with various different links to online stores including Amazon and Play.com. Waterstones seem to have a slightly different version, as there is a special hard cover, showing the original artwork and then the normal book inside, without the artwork on it.
• Extract - This feature gives you access to 56 pages from inside the book. With a clever application, you can view these pages easily, but unfortunately not close up enough to read the text.
