Andrew Smith (born 27 July 1962) is a British screenwriter, playwright and author, best known for his work with the BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who.[1]
Career
[edit]At seventeen-years-old, Smith achieved his ambition to write for Doctor Who with Full Circle, the third serial of the 18th season.[2] Working titles for this story included The Planet That Slept.[3] It broadcast in four weekly parts on BBC1 from 25 October to 15 November 1980. A novelisation of this serial, written by Smith, was published by Target Books in September 1982.[4]
After limited success in television, Smith left the industry and joined the police. Decades later, he would return to Doctor Who, becoming a regular writer for Big Finish Productions.[5] In addition to Doctor Who, Smith's other audio dramas would include Survivors, based on the 1970s BBC television series; Star Cops, based on the cult 1987 TV series created by Chris Boucher, and their Originals boxset, Transference, starring Alex Kingston.
