Purser-Hallard is a clever fellow. He’s written various acclaimed Who spin-off books which I haven’t read. Perhaps they’ll have a Torchwood range of novels that he can write for. They seem to be happy with their small group of writers for the slightly kid-friendly official Who novels.

Philip Purse isn’t being judgemental, he’s just putting things out there for discussion. I like him. He makes some interesting points.

Lawrence Miles just pissed me off because he got so angry and used a possible interpretation to attack.

Anyhow: a fellow called Philip Purser-Hallard did a talk on Doctor Who at a Christian convention recently. Obviously it’s from a Christian perspective but it’s still quite interesting. Anti-subtext people may take issue with some points…
