'''Gareth Roberts''' (born '''Gareth John Pritchard Roberts''' [[5 June (people)|5 June]] [[1968 (people)|1968]]<ref>[https://peoplepill.com/people/gareth-roberts-2/ People Pill]</ref>) was a writer for ''[[Doctor Who]]'' and several of its spin-offs.


'''Gareth Roberts''' (born [[1968]] as '''Gareth John Pritchard Roberts''') is a television writer and novelist. He has a substantial body of work related to ''[[Doctor Who]]'', across every medium in which ''Doctor Who'' fiction has appeared. Indeed, it would be fair to consider him, along with [[Paul Cornell]], as amongst the most versatile writers of ''Doctor Who'' fiction.
== Biography ==
His first contributions to ''Doctor Who'', in the early 1990s, were several novels in [[Virgin Books]]' ''[[Virgin New Adventures|New Adventures]]'' and ''[[Virgin Missing Adventures|Missing Adventures]]'' lines; these books were generally well-received by fans, with four of them eventually being adapted by [[Big Finish]] in their [[Novel Adaptations]] range. Roberts went on to contribute to a wide variety of other ''Doctor Who'' ranges and media, including novels for subsequent Doctors and several episodes of the television show.


His work is consistently described as "witty" or "humorous" by reviewers, and betrays a desire to make less popular or under-explored characters "work". Indeed, this penchant for exploring unusual character combinations has, in various media, made him an early proponent of stories featuring the teams of [[Vicki]]/[[Steven Taylor|Steven]], [[Susan Foreman|Susan]]/[[First Doctor]], [[Melanie Bush|Mel]]/[[Sixth Doctor]], [[Romana II]]/[[K9]], [[Rose Tyler|Rose]]/[[Mickey Smith|Mickey]], and [[Captain Jack Harkness|Jack]]/[[Rose Tyler|Rose]].
As a fan of the [[Graham Williams]]/[[Douglas Adams]] era, he used the [[Fourth Doctor]], [[Romana II]], and [[K9]] TARDIS team more than any other Virgin writer; years later, he was chosen to be the [[BBC Wales]] representative for the documentary about the Graham Williams era included with the UK DVD release of ''[[The Ribos Operation (TV story)|The Ribos Operation]]'', and he would later novelise the unfinished Douglas Adams script ''[[Shada (novelisation)|Shada]]''.


He has written for both the [[BBC Wales]] version of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' and ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]''. For the latter program, he was Head Writer for [[Series 1 (The Sarah Jane Adventures)|the first series]].
Roberts's debut in comics was [[1994 (releases)|1994]]'s ''[[Plastic Millenium (comic story)|Plastic Millenium]]'', which was the first appearance of [[Melanie Bush|Mel]] in comics. He went on to be a recurring comics writer during the [[Ninth Doctor]]'s era, and he would often reuse ideas from his comics for his television episodes: he showed the Ninth Doctor visiting [[William Shakespeare]] in ''[[A Groatsworth of Wit (comic story)|A Groatsworth of Wit]]'' before writing the episode ''[[The Shakespeare Code (TV story)|The Shakespeare Code]]''; and his [[series 5 (Doctor Who 2005)|series 5]] episode ''[[The Lodger (TV story)|The Lodger]]'' was an adaptation of his 2006 [[The Lodger (comic story)|comic of the same name]].


Prior to becoming something of a "fixture" at [[Upper Boat Studios|Upper Boat]], he was heavily involved in writing popular British soap operas from about 1997-2003. ''Brookside'', ''[[Coronation Street]]'' and ''Emmerdale'' have all employed his services.
Outside of official ''Doctor Who'', Roberts contributed to the [[charity publication|charity]] reference book ''[[Behind the Sofa: Celebrity Memories of Doctor Who]]'', and was interviewed in [[DWM 485|issue 485]] of ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' for the revival series' tenth anniversary.
==''Doctor Who''==
===Books===
Roberts began writing professional ''Doctor Who'' fiction in the early 1990s, when he started contributing to the [[Virgin New Adventures]] and [[Virgin Missing Adventures]] novel ranges. His works were generally hailed by fans for their consistent use of good humor. It has been said that his creations, the [[Chelonian]]s, were "one of the best monsters created in the novels".


All of his Missing Adventures were set in televised eras generally recognized for their strong use of humor. ''[[The Plotters]]'' was a [[First Doctor]] novel said to evoke the [[Dennis Spooner]] era, reminiscent of [[DW]]: ''[[The Romans]]'' and ''[[The Time Meddler]]''.{{fact}} But the bulk of Roberts' prose work betrays Roberts' bias for the [[Graham Williams]]/[[Douglas Adams]] era. No other Virgin writer used the combination of the [[Fourth Doctor]], [[Romana II]] and [[K9]] as much as Roberts. It has been said that Roberts' Missing Adventures were "love-letter[s] to the Graham Williams era".<ref>[http://drwhoreviews.blogspot.com/2008/05/5-doctor-who-only-human-by-gareth.html Lawrence Conquest's review of ''Only Human'']</ref> It is perhaps for this reason that Roberts was chosen to be the [[BBC Wales]] representative for the documentary about the the Graham Williams era included with the UK DVD release of [[DW]]: ''[[The Ribos Operation]]''.
=== Controversy ===
In September 2017, Roberts posted a tweet on his Twitter account that gained some media attention for being trans-misogynistic.<ref>[https://www.bleedingcool.com/2017/09/04/gareth-roberts-trans-misogyny-twitter/ Bleeding Cool: Doctor Who Writer Gareth Roberts Tweets Trans-Misogynistic Remarks]</ref><ref>[https://www.themarysue.com/doctor-who-writer-gareth-roberts-talks-vile-ignorant-trash-about-trans-women/ The Mary Sue: Doctor Who Writer Gareth Roberts Talks Vile, Ignorant Trash About Trans Women]</ref><ref>[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/2017/09/05/doctor-writer-criticised-tweeting-jokes-trannies/ Telegraph.co.uk: Doctor Who writer criticised for tweeting jokes about 'trannies']</ref><ref>[https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2017/09/04/doctor-who-writer-hits-out-at-trannies-and-rainbow-cult/ Pink News: Doctor Who writer hits out at ‘trannies’ and ‘rainbow cult’]</ref> In early [[May (production)|May]] [[2019 (production)|2019]], [[BBC Books]] released details about an upcoming ''Doctor Who'' anthology that would include [[Untitled Target Storybook story (short story)|a short story]] by Roberts;<ref>[https://www.blogtorwho.com/coming-soon-doctor-who-the-target-storybook/ Coming Soon announcement on Blogtor Who]</ref> a month later, Roberts announced in an article that his story would not be included in the anthology after other contributing writers threatened to withdraw from the publication due to Roberts' tweets.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://medium.com/@zmangareth/statement-on-bbc-books-and-transgenderism-dd7ad0c9231a|title=Statement on BBC Books and Transgenderism|publisher=medium.com|date=2019-04-06|accessdate=2019-04-03|archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20190604101854/https://medium.com/@zmangareth/statement-on-bbc-books-and-transgenderism-dd7ad0c9231a|archivedate=2019-06-03}}</ref>


Roberts is one of a few writers who has written for both the original Virgin lines and the [[BBC Books]] series that have accompanied the [[BBC Wales]] series of ''Doctor Who''. In fact, he and [[Justin Richards]] are the only two authors as of [[2008]] to write a Missing Adventure, a New Adventure, a [[BBC New Series Adventures#Ninth Doctor|Ninth Doctor novel]], and a [[BBC New Series Adventures#Tenth Doctor|Tenth Doctor novel]]. It's a club so exclusive that only [[Steve Lyons]] has the potential to join them.
Since then, Roberts has also mocked the fact that [[Rose Noble]], and by extension actress [[Yasmin Finney]], is transgender on his Twitter account.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://cultbox.co.uk/news/headlines/yasmin-finney-confirms-her-doctor-who-character-rose-is-trans|title=Yasmin Finney confirms her Doctor Who character Rose is trans|publisher=cultbox.com|date=2022-07-23|accessdate=2023-09-24|}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://x.com/OldRoberts953/status/1705639495326961701?s=20|title=Gareth Roberts on X: "@Spacecrafting76 I’m trying not to say anything about this, but I have just lolled very hard." /X|publisher=twitter.com|date=2023-09-24|accessdate=2023-09-24|}}</ref>


===Audios===
== Bibliography ==
He has exclusively used companion [[Melanie Bush]] in his audio plays, once with the [[Sixth Doctor]] and once with the [[Seventh Doctor|Seventh]]. His work with co-writer [[Clayton Hickman]] was amongst the very first to employ Mel in audio, and can therefore be said to have been instrumental in redefining the generally fan-disliked companion for audio.
=== Television ===
===Comics===
==== ''Doctor Who'' ====
Roberts' first works in comics were "[[Plastic Millennium]]" and "[[Operation Proteus]]", both of which featured the comic first appearances of televised companions. "Millennium", in fact, is the only appearance of [[Melanie Bush|Mel]] in comics, while "Proteus" affords a very late debut for [[Susan Foreman|Susan]], outside of cameos and parodies. It also posited a pre-''[[An Unearthly Child|Unearthly Child]]'' [[the Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]], something that had never been considered by the comics before.

Years after this story, Roberts' work experience with Clayton Hickman in audio would help him get a steady string of work in [[2005]]. Roberts was the dominant comics writer during the [[Ninth Doctor]]'s era. Concepts in his comic work during this period would later make their way into Roberts' televised episodes of ''Doctor Who''. He was entrusted with writing "[[The Shakespeare Code|the Shakespeare episode]]" in [[Series 3 (Doctor Who)|series 3]] largely on the strength of his Ninth Doctor comic, "[[A Groatsworth of Wit]]", in which he revealed his detailed knowledge of Shakespeare. Meanwhile, the poisoning scene in ''[[The Unicorn and the Wasp]]'' was directly lifted from one of his comic strips.

Gareth Roberts (born Gareth John Pritchard Roberts 5 June 1968[1]) was a writer for Doctor Who and several of its spin-offs.

Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]

His first contributions to Doctor Who, in the early 1990s, were several novels in Virgin Books' New Adventures and Missing Adventures lines; these books were generally well-received by fans, with four of them eventually being adapted by Big Finish in their Novel Adaptations range. Roberts went on to contribute to a wide variety of other Doctor Who ranges and media, including novels for subsequent Doctors and several episodes of the television show.

As a fan of the Graham Williams/Douglas Adams era, he used the Fourth Doctor, Romana II, and K9 TARDIS team more than any other Virgin writer; years later, he was chosen to be the BBC Wales representative for the documentary about the Graham Williams era included with the UK DVD release of The Ribos Operation, and he would later novelise the unfinished Douglas Adams script Shada.

Roberts's debut in comics was 1994's Plastic Millenium, which was the first appearance of Mel in comics. He went on to be a recurring comics writer during the Ninth Doctor's era, and he would often reuse ideas from his comics for his television episodes: he showed the Ninth Doctor visiting William Shakespeare in A Groatsworth of Wit before writing the episode The Shakespeare Code; and his series 5 episode The Lodger was an adaptation of his 2006 comic of the same name.

Outside of official Doctor Who, Roberts contributed to the charity reference book Behind the Sofa: Celebrity Memories of Doctor Who, and was interviewed in issue 485 of Doctor Who Magazine for the revival series' tenth anniversary.

Controversy[[edit] | [edit source]]

In September 2017, Roberts posted a tweet on his Twitter account that gained some media attention for being trans-misogynistic.[2][3][4][5] In early May 2019, BBC Books released details about an upcoming Doctor Who anthology that would include a short story by Roberts;[6] a month later, Roberts announced in an article that his story would not be included in the anthology after other contributing writers threatened to withdraw from the publication due to Roberts' tweets.[7]

Since then, Roberts has also mocked the fact that Rose Noble, and by extension actress Yasmin Finney, is transgender on his Twitter account.[8][9]
