WORK Colin began working on ''EastEnders'' in 1985 as a writer and script editor, being partly responsible for the introduction of the soap's first Asian characters Sanjay and Gita. From their, he went on to work as "script executive" on the popular Saturday night action adventure program ''Bugs'', before moving to Channel 5 in 1997 to be "script associate" on their evening soap ''Family Affairs''. More recently, Colin has written episodes of the daytime soaps ''Doctors'' and the revival of ''Crossroads''. Away from television, Colin had his first ''Doctor Who'' related writing published as part of Virgin Publishing 's '' Decalog '' short story collection in 1996 . He then had his first novel '' Escape Velocity '' published by BBC Books in February 2001 as part of their Eighth Doctor Adventures range based on the television series ''Doctor Who'' At the time, Colin was quoted as saying how appropriate it was that he was now writing for ''Doctor Who'', as he was briefly considered as Eric Saward 's replacement as script editor on the show - a job that eventually went to Andrew Cartmel instead. Colin followed ''Escape Velocity'' with the Past Doctor Adventure '' Colony Of Lies '' in July 2003 , and then with the Audio Adventure '' Three's A Crowd '' from Big Finish Productions in 2005 . He has also written an audio for their Bernice Summerfield range, and a short story for their '' Short Trips '' range. EXTERNAL LINKS |
