Meet the Authors: Sean Alexander

Hello, and despite rumours to the contrary I did not play Varsh in Full Circle all those years ago. Nope, the closest I ever came was having a dreadful Adric-style bowlan haircut until I was about 16.

First memories? Well, falling off a bunk-bed aged about 4 comes close (oh, you mean Who ones). Oh well, the cliff-hanger to Pyramids of Mars 2, sat on my mother’s lap as the mummies closed in. Every time I think of it I can still remember the smell of her perfume.

When not pretending that I could do this sort of thing for a living you might find me selling credit cards and patronising pensioners in your local Post Office. I’m the nerdy one who tries to shoe-horn in at least one Doctor Who quote during a transaction every day.

I first came across this site back in the heady days of late 2003, when a certain Lorraine Heggessy got our hearts beating again with THAT announcement of a certain show coming back. Mr Perryman’s tales of Who-love, itinerant farmers and unsuccessful BT connections first got me on board. And I’ve been hooked since.

Aside from getting me into Pink Floyd and gin, Neil’s also been kind enough to let me contribute to the odd Tachyon TV podcast - anyone who’s heard my Eccleston impression has no doubt re-evaluated the talent of Mike Yarwood as a result.

If you want to remind yourself of just how embarrassingly gushing I can be about a certain TV programme when it’s deserved, my BTS Volume 1 posts can be found here.
