  I just hope one day someone like RTD finds the time to write a similar book so we can get some insight into what its really like to be the show runner and head writer of New Who. I imagine it would be a great read.

  No, that was written by RTD, not somebody like him.

  Sorry. It was late and I was grumpy and being facetious. Apologies all.

  I don't think there's anyone more like RTD than RTD, is there?

  Not sure...
  
  I believe he once entered a RTD impersonators competition and came third!

  Mr.Tumble...he's a bit like him. Sort of...
  
  Maybe he could be the next showrunner and write a book?

  This looks really interesting, I've always been really interested in the screenwriting process; writing for something like Doctor Who would be my dream job.
  
  As a really self-indulgent side note, I recently won a script-writing award which was judged by the current Doctor Who script editor
