I’m still smarting from the death of David Warner. He wasn’t the only person I was fond of to pass on this month (farewell, Alan Grant; vale Bernard Cribbins) but as far as I know, this was the first time somebody I worked with has died. I use the phrase “worked with” loosely — we never met — but I did have the pleasure of writing a script for him, not that my daft scribblings would have gone anywhere near the top of his CV. He was David friggin’ Warner, after all.
I’ve also been just a tiny bit stressed out from my mounting deadlines. Suffice to say that I hope August will bring better things.

What did you write that David Warner worked on? One of the Big Finish releases?

Yes, it was a Big Finish release that co-starred Mr. Warner as a paralell-universe Doctor:

(While I’m here, I should mention that I wrote the above post before I heard of Nichelle Nichols’ passing, otherwise she would’ve made the list as well. God, what a week.)

Thanks for the information. Big Finish has done so many great releases, I need to catch up on a lot of them. It must have been amazing to hear the words you wrote spoken by David Warner in that wonderfully rich voice of his.
