We managed to quickly catch up with Sylvester McCoy (The Seventh Doctor) at Dimension 2014 in Newcastle and talk a little bit about the new upcoming Doctor Who Big Finish audio 'Damaged Goods'. Sylvester is quite excited by this one as it is an adaptation of Russell T Davies book and he is one of only 3 Doctors whom Russell has written for.
Everyone who still watches Doctor Who would agree it's a very different show from the classic version that ran from 1963 to 1989. The original series was a product of production and writing dynamics of the time: procedural stories, plot-driven with character development kept in the background, often even an afterthought. The series that was revived by Russell T.
The new writers of the range were fans of what Cartmel started in the series and have since become writers on the modern TV series. They included Paul Cornell, Mark Gatiss, and future showrunners Davies and Steven Moffat. Davies' first and only novel was a Virgin 'The New Adventures' novel, 'Damaged Goods,' which takes place in a South London estate and features a family named the Tylers.
