David Tennant's era is my Doctor Who happy place so I was particularly excited to be asked for a whole book of short stories by @PuffinBooks for the 60th anniversary. It was a labour of love and I'm thrilled to see finished copies! Out 12th Oct.

Every school should have a library & a librarian to inspire the love of reading. No child should EVER have to go without access to books & to the expert guidance that will help them to read for pleasure, and enjoy all the life-changing benefits of literacy.

The waters are rising. You hear whispers of Dust and a baby called Lyra. In her lies the fate of the future.
The Book of Dust: La Belle Sauvage is an epic adventure of two young people and their dæmons from @_bridgetheatre.
It's broadcast live to cinemas on 17 Feb with @NTLive.

In the latest Doctor Who Magazine I'm there twice, talking about a new project and also about the Who videos I oversaw 24 years back. Felt old but amused. Then found this pic of me aged 5 with the Target book of Auton Invasion and it struck me: this TV show's been my whole life
