My lovely BBC radio producer Claire Grove and I have just reached an agreement with Nick Hern Books to write a book (it's part of a series) called SO YOU WANT TO WRITE A RADIO PLAY?

Very much looking forward to working with Claire and Nick. We're due to deliver our manuscript early next year.

TINNISWOOD AWARD FOR GERONTIUS

Stephen Wyatt — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:23:18 +0000

At the BBC Audio Drama Awards on Sunday 29th January, my play Gerontius about Cardinal Newman won the Tinniswood Award for best original drama script broadcast in 2010. This is the second time I have won this award and I feel very honoured.

The judges wrote that the script has "remarkable spiritual depth - sadly all too rare in contemporary drama - and a consistent subtlety of writing that displays both a sure grasp of how dialogue can bring out character and an effortless ease in moving from one type of discourse to another, from this world to the next... Wyatt has already won one Tinniswood Award and we had no doubt that the outstanding fluidity and intelligence of Gerontius, the haunting near-perfection of it, could warrant a second."

Gerontius is being repeated on Radio on Wednesday 8th February at 2.15 pm. A published version of the text is now available.

GREATEST SHOW IN THE GALAXY

Stephen Wyatt — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 11:17:42 +0000

Just learned that the documentary in the upcoming DVD of my Who story GREATEST SHOW IN THE GALAXY will be about the asbestos crisis which affected its production. Since the commentary sessions were also very much centred on the production time, it means the accompanying material will be almost entirely about the nuts and bolts of the production, not its imaginative centre.

This is particularly a pity as I actually still have the various outlines for GREATEST SHOW as it was developed over quite a long period of time, a very rare event I gather in the history of Dr Who. So naturally I feel both for me - and for Dr Who fans - an opportunity has been missed.
