| Graeme in article in Doctor Who Magazine #401 |
more from same (Bill's Nature Shows) |
 The new issue of Doctor Who Magazine (Issue 401, which went on sale in the UK today) includes an article about the new series of Doctor Who radio adventures. The press release says the article includes an interview with the cast, including
Paul McGann, Sheridan Smith, Graeme Garden, Art Malik, Clare Buckfield and James Fleet.
Thanks for Sosia for pointing out that the first story in the series (the second series of Eighth Doctor audio adventures) starts this Sunday on BBC Radio 7. Graeme is in the second show in the series (Max Warp) while Tim appears in the sixth story (The Zygon Who Fell To Earth). Each story probably will be broken into multiple episodes; we'll have to watch for the start date of Tim's & Graeme's appearances.

I don't know if the show will mention any of Tim, Graeme, & Bill's projects, but it sounds interesting - "Nicholas Parsons explores how radio comedy has developed and how it reveals much about the way the British live. Through rarely-heard archive material and interviews with writers, performers and comedians, he investigates the impact that radio comedy has had upon the nation. Including contributions from Paul Merton, Barry Cryer, Ray Galton and Alan Simpson and Sanjeev Bhaskar."
