Thanks most of all to the innumerable people involved with the production of Doctor Who, in any and every form ... past, present and future.
Lars wishes to thank...
First and foremost, a shout-out is due to Lance - for his vast
Doctor Who
knowledge, writing skill, professionalism, humour and for putting up with manic phone calls in which I desperately needed to puzzle through (say) the terraforming of Mars. I’ve learned a hell of a lot from working with him. In fact, it’s only now - eight years (!!!) after Mad Norwegian was given the honour of taking up the reins of
Ahistory
- that I’ve finally achieved the threshold of having written half the text you’re holding, which is to say that you have to run damn,
damn
fast if you want to keep up with Lance Parkin.
Big thanks are also due to Christa Dickson, not just for the tremendous cover and overall design of this Third Edition, but for being patient with my mood swings in the time it took to complete the text therein. You know how the partners / spouses of coaches have to exert extra understanding with their stressed-out, doom-slathered mates during sports season? Now imagine that, but that it essentially goes on for two and a half years. Similarly, Robert Smith? and Josh Wilson went to exceeding lengths to keep me at least half-sane, and a man could not ask for better friends and colleagues.
A great many people assisted with my research, but I seemed to most often approach the highly prolific Simon Guerrier, Jonathan Morris and Gary Russell for help, so thanks to them for their insightful responses. Big thanks to everyone at Big Finish - particularly Nicholas Briggs and Jason Haigh-Ellery - for their continued enthusiasm and support for this project. Thanks to our beta-testing team (Barnaby Edwards, Stephen Gray, Steve Manfred, Cody Quijano-Schell and John Seavy) for the number of times that they saved us from ourselves. Valued research help was also given to me by Andrew Cartmel, Martin Day, Stuart Douglas, Paul Ebbs, James Goss, David Richardson, Eddie Robson, Alan Stevens and Damian Taylor. I’m sure I’ve failed to mention someone, for which I’m desperately embarrassed.
Appreciation in one form or another is due to Sophie Aldred, Jeremy Bement, Josh Bertaki, Jim Boyd, Graeme Burk, Dan and Allison Chibnall, Gwyn Cox, Jen M.F. Dixon, Sacha Dzuba, Marc Eby, Sigrid Ellis, Laura Gerald, John Gibney, Brandon and Kelli Griffis, Toby Hadoke, James Houston, Maggie Howe, Shari Hrdina, Hannah Hudson, James and Renee Juneau, Matt Jesson, Al Kennedy and Paul O’Brien at the House to Astonish podcast, Paul Kirkley, Shawne Kleckner, Michael Lee, Catherine Lowe, Shaun Lyon, Dylan Lyons, Cameron and Stephanie McCoy, Sylvester McCoy, Tiff Morgan, K.O. Myers, L.M. Myles, Dave Owen, Lars Pearson (no relation, but you can imagine how schizophrenic our Facebook discussions can seem), Chris Purcell, Cassie Sampson, Robert Shearman, Katy Shuttleworth, Deborah Stanish, Lynne Thomas, Jason Stormageddon Tucker, Peter Ware, Cathleen Young (God, the blueberry muffins this woman makes; that’s not a euphemism, by the way) and that nice lady who sends me newspaper articles.
