Hanging with Stephen Gallagher

Stephen Gallagher has written novels (LOVE Kingdom of Bones, Chimera, Rain) and television scripts (for Doctor Who — for Rosemary & Thyme, Eleventh Hour, BBC series Murder Rooms, etc.) I’ve known Steve for ages, and in addition to being a brilliant writer, he’s an extremely generous person with a keen wit and wonderful sense of humor. He also makes a good guide round Leeds, where we spent today. Tried to stop at the Book Barge (going to pick up a book by @neil-gaiman to pose with) but it was closed. Sorry Neil! Also went to the art gallery … and discovered we have similar taste in pens.

Radio Times did the clickbait thing here a bit. Gallagher is quoted as saying this in passing, but he does not elaborate, or does the article, so we’re left with the question of whether he’s referring to the rather substandard Series 10, or he’s on the Clara-hate bandwagon, or what. Anyway, it is what it is. Sadly it’s probably going to be used by some folks to keep theit “Capaldi sucked”  or “Capaldi started the downward trend” arguments going in order to avoid laying blame where it is more widely deserved.

The reason why this article exists is Stephen Gallagher wrote Warriors’ Gate for the Fourth Doctor and Terminus for the Fifth (so he was the guy tasked with writing out both Romana and Nyssa). Using the pen name John Lydecker, he wrote the Target Books novelizations for both stories (I remember being shocked because he had Romana say “damn” in the WGate book!). Since then he’s also written some shorter works, including a Telos Novella (remember those?) and some audios. He’ll be publishing a rewritten adaptation of Warriors’ Gate as part of the next set of nuTarget Books scheduled for UK publication in the summer. This set also includes a novelization of the Twelfth Doctor story The Zygon Invasion, incidentally.

Would Stephen Gallagher Return to Write a New Doctor Who Story?

Would Stephen Gallagher Return to Write a New #DoctorWho Story?

Stephen Gallagher has revealed that he actually doesn’t want to return to write a new episode of Doctor Who! Gallagher wrote two Doctor Who adventures in the 1980s — the Fourth Doctor serial, Warriors’ Gate, and the Fifth Doctor tale, Terminus — but fears that, if he came back for another story, people might not enjoy it, and his connection with Who might be somewhat tainted. He…

Pavements (dir. Alex Ross Perry) x VIFF 2024.

It's a complex but hilariously multifaceted riff on the typical kinds of music vanity projects we usually get, including artist-sanctioned documentaries, jukebox stage musicals, or self-important biographical dramas like Bohemian Rhapsody.

Authors Support Authors

When no one else can be relied on, other writers will be there.

Being an author is a *ride* my friends. I have done signings where there are lines of people. And some where three people came, one of which was my partner and one my best friend. I’ve been flown places and feted... And I’ve been ignored by the people who invited me (who seemed shocked and annoyed at my very presence). I’ve had readers tell me I changed their lives. I’ve had readers tell me a toddler with a dictionary could do better.

But you know what has never waivered—at least in my experience? Other authors are almost unfailingly supportive. Of course there are exceptions, I’m sure. But I’ve been cared for by writers all my career; they are the support system, they are the ones who lift all the boats. Authors know that this is a mad, precarious, bizarre path with few safe havens. They will be there for you.

Chum Ehelepola as Dennis Tibb in The Newsreader’s Season Two! ❤️🤴🏾🌟

.

.

We have been very lucky to have Dennis Tibb exactly the way he wonderfully is.

He is smart, he is sharp, and he’s a realist - knowing exactly what the reactions to certain news stories from the general public and work decisions from his higher ups will be. His incredible intuition and understanding of how the general public and executives see the world has been born out of his personal experience with life, and he has an acute awareness for the fact that our world isn’t as open to different perspectives and narratives as some might think it is.

Despite his competence and unwavering loyalty to News At Six, he knows that there is no way that someone who looks the way he does would ever be considered for a position of massive power. Something that has been pointed out by some critics of The Newsreader is the fact that a brown skinned man being the chief of staff in a 1980s newsroom would have been inconceivable then, and very rare even today.

In an interview that he had with the Sydney Morning Herald in 2023, Chum Ehelepola directly addressed these critiques. With casting him in the role, Chum hopes that viewers will take a moment to question why someone like Dennis wouldn’t have been employed in a position of power; not because Dennis wasn’t competent, but because the colour of his skin. In these deliberate casting decisions to have characters divert from the norm, we open the doors to diverse talent getting to shine, and we can begin to ensure that no person will ever look at the people they see on television, and not be able to envisage themselves in that space too.

As we come to the conclusion of Dennis’ story within our Season Three, we can only hope the show’s writers and Chum will take this conversation even further by having Dennis step into his power, find his inner ambition and dare to change the culture of his work place, one brave story choice at a time. I’m truly going to miss having Dennis on my screen, but we have been lucky to have him, and getting to see Chum Ehelepola’s talent shine too! Bravo, Dennis and Chum! 🤴🏾

"So. Tell me what happened."

"Well. It was me. I kicked it."

"Any particular reason?"

"I lost my temper."

"Who with?"

"I was having a... discussion about the painting and things to do with the painting with McClaren, sir, and, uh... it got out of hand."

"And you kicked the painting?"

"Yes, sir."

"Instead of kicking McClaren?"

"Yes, sir."

"I wish you'd kicked McClaren."

"So do I, sir."

The pilot for the Chris Carter created show Millinium aired on October 25, 1996. With over 17 million people watching, it set a record for viewership at the time. Fox allowed them to take three months to film the episode and pumped $10 million into the launch, including releasing it at some theaters. The show took place in the same universe as the X-Files (the series was concluded as an episode of the X-Files after being canceled). The show featured Lance Henriksen as Frank Black, a former FBI profiler, who had the ability to see through the mind of serial killers and had joined the mysterious Millinium Group.
