Russell T Davies to Appear at Radio Times Festival

Christian Cawley is a writer at Kasterborous Doctor Who News and Reviews - All the latest Doctor Who news and reviews with our weekly podKast, features and interviews, and a long-running forum.

Not only will Peter Capaldi be appearing at the Radio Times Festival with Steven Moffat, it seems that modern Doctor Who‘s original showrunner will also be attending the event, and discussing his career on the same “Doctor Who Day”, which also features Simon Guerrier and Dr Marek Kukala talking about their book, The Scientific Secrets of Doctor Who.

Kicking off at 4pm after a 2.30pm chat with Steven Moffat and Peter Capaldi, Davies’ session is summarised here:

From busting social taboos with dramas such as Queer as Folk and Channel 4’s Cucumber to inspiring the reboot of Doctor Who, Russell T Davies is one of Britain’s most innovative screenwriters. Here he explains how he made the journey from Swansea schoolboy to leading creative voice.

Taking place at Hampton Court Palace on September 25th (the full Radio Times Festival closes on the 29th), you’ll have to pay £15 to see RTD (too much? Watch Guerrier and Kukala at the same time for just £12!). If you’re planning to watch both showrunners, Capaldi and Moffat, plus Brian Minchin, will set you back £20. And slap bang in the middle of September, there’s a good chance that the speakers will have plenty to (not) talk about in the shape of Doctor Who Series 9.

Doctor Who holds a unique place in British popular culture. Here, the Doctor himself, Peter Capaldi, is joined by creative chief Steven Moffat and executive producer Brian Minchin to talk Time Lords, Daleks and Cybermen. Together, they will reveal the inner workings of the Whoniverse.

Sounds like a great afternoon. Will you be going?
