Doctor Who’s Davies Says No To George Lucas

He may have made the revived Doctor Who into Britain ’s favorite television show , superintend to put Cardiff on the science fiction map with Torchwood and struck a blow for unexpected MILFery with Sarah Jane Adventures , but that does n’t mean that Russell T. Davies is up for any variety of telly challenge . One gig that he turned down ? Writing for George Lucas ’ novel live - military action Star Wars series . That shocker , and more , is reveal in his new Bible , The Writer ’s Tale . The record – a serial of emails between Davies and journalist Benjamin Cook – is n’t released in the UK until this Thursday ( No US or publishing company or sacking date has been announced , but we ’re hoping that changes very soon ) , but British magazine SFX got their hand on a review article copy and found themselves very surprised by what ’s inside :

course , the email have been filtered and edit , but this still palpate astonishingly uncensored for an official tie - in volume . Take the chapter which discourse online fan critique : it ’s title “ BASTARDS ” . You might understand why when you learn about Helen Raynor ’s chemical reaction to browsing the forum : “ She was literally shaking afterwards . Like she ’d been physically assaulted ” . Humphrey Davy also breaks his “ never criticise the erstwhile series ” rule ( describing Sylvester McCoy ’s launching as “ a cryptic , dark trough ” ) and clarify the extent of his “ hand shining ” – often a 60 % rewrite , sometimes almost 100 % .

They also run down just some of the disclosure within the volume . In addition to Davies ’ reject to meet with Lucas to discuss a purpose in write Star Wars , you ’ll also chance out about the missing Mark Gatiss script for Who ( He ’d previously written “ The Unquiet Dead ” and “ The Idiot Lantern ” for the serial before a third script was ditch at the last bit ) , why Owen died instead of Ianto on Torchwood and the mystic stemma of Davros . Portions of the bookhave already appear online – We ’ve connect to them in Morning Spoilers – but clearly the full version of the book of account contains much more nerditry than just JK Rowling ’s non - involvement in Who and the identity of the next physician . We ’ll be look eagerly for our importee versions to come in the ring mail . doc Who – The Writer ’s Tale[SFX ]
