Russell T Davies

Russell T. Davies, OBE (born 1963) is a successful television writer whose first major success was the CBBC adventure serial Dark Season, which contained strong similarities to Doctor Who. Davies would go on to create a further children's series, Century Falls before creating the award winning Queer As Folk and The Second Coming.

Davies' first major involvement in Doctor Who was in 1996, when he wrote the novel Damaged Goods for the Virgin New Adventures line.

In 2004, Davies was given the position of executive producer and head writer of Doctor Who when it was revived. Davies has written the majority of episodes since then, ultimately also creating the character of Captain Jack Harkness and the Doctor Who spin-offs Torchwood, and The Sarah Jane Adventures. On the 20th May Russell publicly announced his departure from Doctor Who. He will continue to be executive producer for the 2009 specials before being succeeded by staff writer Steven Moffat for Series 5 in 2010.
