@PaulJack662016@guardianobits Sadly that’s byline writers plucking out the thing they recognise. I’m a Doctor Who fan but the amount of brilliant actors who were in one story who get “Doctor Who star” instead of something they did *actually* star in is very silly. See also Harry Potter.
Tonight! Grandmaster Flash is on @BBCFrontRow Plus @tobyhadoke on John Leeson (aka K9), we remember Patrick Stewart and discuss the Ramayana (and epic new film) ahead of Diwali. BBC Radio 4 715pm or link after https://t.co/SQwlfPw6F7
My first memory of Doctor Who is The Invisible Enemy and to me so John Leeson (and K9) has always been an integral part of the show.
What an erudite, charming, courteous, multi-talented man. An INTERESTED & therefore INTERESTING fellow. A pleasure to be with.
Bless him. RIP John.
@Janekelly25@BBCRadio4Extra I mind too Jane! It seems insane to cut back something the BBC had the infrastructure to do and to be the world leader in. It’s the very definition of public service broadcasting (at this point I’m side-eyeing the identikit, influencer-led BBC Sounds podcasts ;)).

One of my favourite radio jobs. Ever! Great script by Dan - every character’s joy. And WHAT. A. CAST. Aside from the obvious stars (all lovely) it was my first time working with one of the best under-sung actors in the business, Graeme Hawley, who is never less than brilliant.
