The organisers' email describes him as 'very unwell', but they expect to reschedule it to sometime in late November, early December. He's 70 now, and I can't find anything about any health conditions, so maybe just a bout of covid or very bad cold? Rescheduled event was last night. He seemed fine for a 70 year old man. Full head of snowy hair, a bit overweight, walks and stands unaided, can talk and field unimaginative questions for an hour. He mentioned that his mother was 97 when she died. Rubbish surreptitious photo from when the stage was getting moved around. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has also written novels for Star Trek, Space: 1999 and Final Destination. I have read all of his Doctor Who output. His novels are always thoroughly researched but he could occasionally get carried away by historic detail which sometimes detracted from story telling. Scary that he has gone so young. He was the same age as me 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
