Will be interested to see how you treat Chorley: the Web characters seem fairly dismissive of him, but that could just be that he's too popular ("That television chap"), not that he's a poor journalist - and even if he is, his experiences in Web might make him get more serious. All in all, I'm hoping he's presented as someone to take seriously, under the affected persona...
And yet I spot almost forty posts discussing everything but the authors... Odd, huh?
I read the other day that, I think in novel of Downtime, Chorley ends up hosting an interview-based TV show. Which is something we may one day lead to. He's got a long way to go yet, though. Think Jack McGee on The Incredible Hulk for a clue as to his role in the upcoming books.
"Mr. Chorley, please don't make me Yeti. You wouldn't like me when I'm Yeti."
No disrespect intended here. I have not heard of you before. I am familiar with David, and have at least some familiarity with Lance. I know nothing of your writing style, history, etc.
My plan, after reading the announcement and seeing the cost, was to pick up David's book, and then maybe get another one down the road.
After reading your reply above, I'll be picking up all four. And I hope they are a smashing success.
I'm suddenly tempted to write Chorley as Damien Day... (Not that he'll necessarily be in mine - I haven't decided yet.)

Thank you.
Of course, the books are written to be stand-alones, so it's not necessary to get them all. The reason for this is two-fold. One, not everybody likes to commit to an entire series, and two, so that fans of particular authors can read their favourite authors without feeling like they've missed part of the story. There will, of course, be ongoing threads and character development, but nothing that will detract from any given book.
Dude, most of this thread is about UNIT dating. Who is actually writing the books seems about as on-topic as one can be.
If you write something, people somewhere on the Internet might say something bad about your writing. Chill out and ignore it; you don't get to patrol what I say or how I say it.
This is true. No matter which answer we go with, there will be issues with it. So much contradictory evidence, both with props and dialogue.
It's Christmas Eve, and we at Candy Jar Books have a little treat for y'all. A more in depth interview with Hannah Haisman, and ask her more about her grandfather's work on Doctor Who and his inspirations in creating such characters as Lethbridge-Stewart, Professor Travers and the Great Intelligence.

Yeah, when I watched the recreation of episode 3 of The Web of Fear, I also thought what a shame it was that the Doctor and the Brigadier's first meeting was off-camera.
If we ever get the rights to use the Doctor (and it's not impossible) we will flashback to that very first meeting since it really does need dramatising.
We should do with the Peter Cushing Doctor, just to mess with everyone's heads.
SM wanted to use the *posters* from the Cushing film in Day of the Doctor but said it was too expensive to get the rights.
I'm already tempted.
