Tony Keen and Graham Sleight in Conversation: Doctor Who
On the occasion of Graham Sleight’s latest book, The Doctor’s Monsters: The Meaning of the Monstrous in Doctor Who, we talk with Graham and scholar Tony Keen about Doctor Who. We discuss scholarship of the long-running TV show, why it has lasted so long, and who its audience is. I imagine you’ll find some interesting insights within.
I am slightly embarrassed about cutting Graham off with a pedantic correction about which series Terry nation was writing for, thus obscuring Graham’s wider point, that (contrary to what is sometimes believed) Nation had an established pedigree in writing sf for television before he wrote for Doctor Who.
