If you’re even only tangentially aware of current Doctor Who, the name John Dorney will be known to you. He’s one of the main writers for Big Finish across all their ranges, and in my very ‘umble opinion, the best.

He wins awards like they’re going out of fashion and continues to write fantastic, challenging and exciting Doctor Who stories. Even as I write, he’s probably tappity tapping away at twelvety-six others. I caught up with him to talk about the Ark in Space and audio writing as a craft – he was brilliant on both subjects, but then I knew he would be.
