William Gallagher

I'm drama writer and journalist and scriptwriter working on the Doctor Who audio plays from Big Finish and on Radio Times magazine and website. My first book, BFI Television Classics: The Beiderbecke Affair, will be published in 2012 by the British Film Institute/Palgrave Macmillan.

My work has appeared in The Independent, the Los Angeles Times and on BBC local and national radio.

I produced and presented UK DVD Review (2005-2010): a podcast in the top ten of all podcasts, all categories, worldwide.

In print, I've been a columnist on BBC Ceefax and BBC News and wrote Radio Times's On This Day television history column.

Most recently I've been developing TV series with Red Planet, have won prizes for stage drama and my photography has been published in international jewellery books.

I did once have afternoon tea on a Russian nuclear submarine and I do regret calling the place a dive.
