“Tom Baker said to me one day, ‘You obviously write well, what about writing some of the Who novelisations?’"
The late Ian Marter is fondly remembered by Doctor Who fans as the charming, bumbling Harry Sullivan. The man behind the character was equally as likeable, but many more times sharp-witted.
As Nick Briggs and Ian Marter walk and talk their way through locations for Terror of the Zygons, you’ll learn of Ian’s life as a prolific actor and writer.
This is an extended version of the Myth Makers interview recorded in 1986, incorporating previously unseen footage and with a special introduction written and presented by Ian’s close friend Nicholas Courtney.
