Doctor Who: the writer's tale by RTD

Doctor Who: the Writer's Tale by Russell T Davies and Benjamin Cook. 512 pp.

Russell T Davies has been the "showrunner"--producer, main writer, script editor, etc etc--of Doctor Who since it was relaunched in 2005. Benjamin Cook is a reporter. The book is, as Cook describes it, "a year-long interview, in effect," containing emails between the two men covering February 2007 to March 2008 (series 4 of the show). It's mostly RTD, of course, talking about what's happening that day with the show, but also about his writing process, which is quite interesting. The book also includes scripts for a couple of episodes, and we see them evolve, with RTD talking about why and how he's making changes. As a fan of the show I found it immensely enjoyable, but I imagine it would also be quite fascinating for people who are interested in writing for television even if they have no familiarity with the show whatsoever.
