I’m a British actor and artist. I play Harry Sullivan for Big Finish, and I love to paint and draw the heroes of my youth…

Doctor Who: Star Flight – Written by Paul Hayes & Read by Christopher Naylor (BBC Audio) Star Flight, the latest BBC Doctor Who audio short trip by Paul Hayes, drips competence and class from every syllable of its hour and six-minute run time. It takes us back more than sixty years in …

Alert! Alert!

The first review of Star Flight has landed!

"Drips competence and class from every syllable... leaving you feeling breathless and satisfied and eager for more."

Oh yes, I'll take that. I'll take that every day, thank you very much. And twice on Sundays!

Monday is the last day to get your agent to submit your details. We've had literally hundreds of applicants so far, including one from an 80-year-old! Please be able to sound convincingly like a teenager: we need good RP for Bond and good (ideally native) Scottish for Wilder.

This has been a long time in the planning and we're all very excited about what the future holds. The teamwork to get it to this stage has been extraordinary. We've a great year of events ahead of us - do share this as much as you can. Thanks. 😁

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?

Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

‘Don’t forget me…’ I was delighted recently to have a private commission to draw the irreplaceable Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith. I hope I did her justice. As the saying goes, I’m open for commissions!

It’s all relative… Stages to a finished piece. I love commissions like these, because they let me travel back in time - I was drawing this sort of thing when I was about five! Drop me a line if you have any wild ideas you’d like me to realise.

A tweet from the @ArchaeologyArt account which shows a knitted belt from the Byzantine Empire, dating from c.420-600 AD. It looks a lot like Tom Baker's scarf from Doctor Who.
