ALEX FITCH INTERVIEW FROM WHEELMEOUT.COM
Bryan Talbot Interview
"It’s the first comic strip that Big Finish Productions adapted as an audio version. Presumably they had to change the story to a certain extent since it’s only voice and there aren’t any pictures!
What did you think of it?
If anything I think they stuck too closely to the book! They could have adapted it a bit more to fit the audio-only format but on the whole I thought it was great.
David Tennantwas great as Luther Arkwright. They’re supposed to be making the sequel, Heart of Empire.
Funnily, David Tennant made it before accepting a certain iconic role on BBC One where, as in Luther Awkright, he’s also playing a time traveller alongside a companion called Rose.
I hadn’t thought of that!

Mark Wright Interview
When you were writing it did you have any idea who might be cast in the various roles?
We knew David Tennant and Paul Darrow were going to be in it. Jason had been chasing Paul for a while to give him something meaty and the casting of David Tennant was just a dream.
Doctor Who was barely a twinkle in his eye, but he'd done Casanova and a lot of Big Finish already.
I first met David when he was recording one of the Doctor Who Unbounds and we got on.
He's so inclusive, he'll talk to anyone and remembers you. We pitched the idea to him at a Christmas party and he was really up for it.
One thing I'm proud of is that we had David Tennant screaming “Rose!” before Russell T. Davies did!
