I finished reading The Writer's Tale, The Final Chapter earlier this week. Close to 700 pages of correspondence (emails and texts) between Doctor Who showrunner Russell T. Davies and Benjamin Cook. Also included are portions of scripts and articles. It provides an insiders view of the popular series, that any Doctor Who fan will enjoy.
Russell T. Davies is a supremely talented writer. He is clever, funny, witty, angsty, and melodramatic-sometimes all at the same time. It was fascinating to see his thoughts communicated, and how they translated to a finished script. We get to see a side of familiar cast members, David Tennant, Julie Gardner, Steven Moffatt, and more that we would normally never see. All in all, this was a brilliant piece of work-a true genius idea.
