Nev Fountain is an award-winning writer, chiefly known for his work on the BBC sketch show Dead Ringers in both TV and radio incarnations. He has also contributed to many other programs, including Have I Got News for You and Newzoids. He is a principal gag writer for satirical magazine Private Eye and contributes to every issue. He first came to write for Doctor Who when he script-edited the BBC online story "Death Comes to Time" in 2001, and has gone on to write some of Big Finish's most popular audios, including "The Kingmaker" and "Peri and the Piscon Paradox." His books include The Mervyn Stone Mysteries, The Fan Who Knew too Much, and its sequel, Lies and Dolls, which was released in July. Nev talks with me about how he got his start writing radio comedy, the challenges of writing comedy even about very serious events, writing for various forms and media, leaving room to be surprised as you're writing, and more. Episode breakdown: 00:00 Introduction 04:02 Teachers encouraged Nev; family humor shaped his view. 08:21 Comedy influences: The Young Ones, Blackadder, Hitchhiker's Guide. 12:27 Breaking into radio comedy. 16:03 Playwriting taught Nev what makes audiences laugh—live. 20:22 Writing comedy about tragic events; satire offers relief and perspective. 24:23 Dead Ringers' hiatus, revival, and Jon Culshaw's Tom Baker calls. 28:47 Sketches with Ozzy Osbourne, behind-the-scenes stories from TV comedy. 33:46 Nev's serendipitous first Doctor Who project, "Death Comes to Time." 39:23 The process and impact of "Death Comes to Time" explained. 46:31 Challenges and expectations of writing “big” stories in franchises. 52:18 Emphasizing medium-specific storytelling; novels, radio, TV all differ. 58:14 Enjoying creative surprises; writing unfolds beyond outlines or plans. Want more? Here are handy playlists with all my previous interviews with guests in writing, theatre, and Doctor Who.   If you enjoyed our conversation, I hope you'll share it with a friend. Check out the full show notes--with videos of Nev's work and links to his books—at fycuriosity.com, and connect with me and fellow creatives on Substack. Please leave a review for this episode—it's really easy and will only take a minute, and it really helps me reach new listeners. Thanks! If you're tired of waiting for “someday”—which is NOT a day of the week—to get unstuck and step toward your creative dream, we should talk. Https://fyc.quest/Contact        

    For a hundred years, Sunlight has been a beacon of hope shining across a troubled galaxy, an artificial paradise on a frozen world offering safe haven for the super-rich, and employment for even the poorest of labourers. At least, that's what the adverts say. Unfortunately for Governor Robert Hodan, one of his engineers has just discovered a pair of strange-looking pods lodged in a satellite. So Sunlight, that glittering verdant oasis, will never be the same again. Because, as the Doctor knows only too well, on planets where the Krynoid gets established, the vegetation eats the animals... Episode 1.1 Sunlight by Jonathan Morris Episode 1.2 Sunset by Jonathan S Powell Episode 1.3 Darkness by Chris Chapman   Please note: the collector's edition CD box set is strictly limited to 1,000 copies   Recorded on: 25 and 29 July and 2 August 2024 Recorded at: The Soundhouse   Producer Jonathan S Powell said: "Planet Krynoid is Doctor Who's answer to The Last of Us and The Walking Dead, a heart-stopping vision of society's collapse under the weight of one of television's most terrifying creations: the Krynoid. "The Krynoids themselves are terrifying because they do that great sci-fi thing of inverting the ordinary and making you petrified of pot plants. More than that though, they're a sentient infection utterly antithetical to our existence, for which we are woefully unprepared, which makes them the perfect monster to explore today, half a century on from their debut. "I adore The Seeds of Doom - not just for its B-movie brilliance, but for the creeping feeling it evokes that this time, for the first time, the Doctor really might lose. That's what we've tried to convey in this set, that the gloves are off and nobody is safe." Reece Shearsmith said: "I know a lot of actors on Big Finish's roster - David Warner was a great friend, and he used to love doing them and would tell me about them: 'Why haven't you done one?' So I was thrilled to be asked to be in this. It's a really huge drama, it feels a proper disaster movie of the 1970s, like The Poseidon Adventure - things just get worse and worse. "It's a thrill to be part of Doctor Who, it's an institution and it feels like you've made it as an actor if you're asked to be in this world. Hodan is a particular sort of character that Doctor Who is peppered with a lot of – cowards who have a noble intention but trample on people along the way. I've done one before actually, in Mark Gatiss's TV episode Sleep No More. It's a nice thing to play, because it's a very conflicted part." Paul McGann added: "Doctor Who's quite horrible, isn't it, really? When you think about it, it throws up some proper disgusting horrors. Plants that eat people! "The best monsters work on a really visceral, almost childlike level. The Krynoids are like that. Who wants to be eaten by anything, never mind a huge plant?"     Cover Art by Director Executive Producer Music by Producer Script Editor Sound Design by Written by Senior Producer

Kevin left the Powell Estate a long time ago. He wasn't going to be trapped there. But all these years later, he's back and clearing out his dad's old flat.

Unfortunately, something ancient is stirring on the Estate. Perhaps Kevin will be trapped here after all...   **Please note: the collector's edition CDs are strictly limited to 1,500 copies each.**

Mike and Rico rounded out the show with the topic they started with and spent the most time on: the Tigers and if them being "good" is enough for fans. They went through a Big Finish before Tigers baseball.

Actress and writer Lizzie Hopley was born in Liverpool and trained at RADA. As an actress, she has worked for the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Globe Theatre and recent screen work includes Black Doves and upcoming feature film Fackham Hall. As a writer, her radio sitcom Green won Pozzitive TV's Funny Dot Comp 2021 and TV series Bloody Betty is currently in development. She has written and appeared in over 90 Big Finish audio adventures including Dark Shadows and Doctor Who, and her Doctor Who audio play The Curse of Lady Macbeth won the 2022 Scribe Award. Lizzie joins me to talk about how her childhood love of writing and acting became a vocation, auditioning for RADA—twice—and how she ended up continuing to write even as a drama student, how learning to think of acting and writing as having a target changed her work, and a whole lot more. Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Lizzie Hopley shares her creative childhood and love for books. 04:56 Acting out movie scenes alone sparked early passion for performance. 08:45 Family encouraged storytelling, costumes, and imagination at home. 13:11 Difficulties pursuing creative careers; importance of following passion. 17:33 University and RADA experiences shaped her acting and writing path. 22:24 Writing plays began due to lack of desired acting roles. 27:29 Rewriting and feedback are crucial for improving both crafts. 32:54 Learning to target audience while writing; acting versus writing focus. 37:22 Acting training emphasizes focusing on scene partner, not yourself. 43:48 Importance of editors and learning to kill your darlings. 48:21 Confidence and caring less about others' opinions increases with age. 53:07 Acting and writing overlap at Big Finish; playing her own roles. 57:16 Big Finish's community impact, creative freedom, and professional development. 01:02:18 Target books and early Doctor Who fandom as creative inspiration. 01:07:04 Embrace varied interests; open doors for yourself in creativity.

Send us a textOn the latest Too Hot For TV, Dylan is joined by Jim Allenby to talk about two very different bits of Doctor Who media. First up it's the BBC2 documentary 'Resistance is Useless' and then it's the 7th Doctor and Ace in the Big Finish play 'The Grey Man of the Mountain'. And as always they answer the burning questions:Why is Football better than Genesis of the Daleks?Why does the TARDIS have lips?What book has a lot to answer for? 

In this episode of General Witchfinders, we revisit one of the most unsettling and prophetic dramas ever broadcast by the BBC – Survivors (1975), created by Terry Nation, the man behind the Daleks and Blake's 7. Specifically, we're talking about The Fourth Horseman, the chilling first episode of this 1970s British post-apocalyptic classic.
