I don't think I've ever drawn Doctor Who regularly. I wanted to, but nobody gave me the job. When I started work on it the editor of the comic strip was Richard Starkings.

His idea was to run different artists for different styles of stories. I was about to get a story set on an island surrounded by water, which I suppose most islands are. It was a tribal kind of story and didn't really suit me very well, so I nabbed the story which was coming up which had apparently seven Doctors and various companions. I had drawn a likeness of Richard Branson for Transformers Comic and everybody liked that so I got to do the Doctor Who Seven Doctors story and I've done them intermittently ever since.

I've done lots of Dalek stories so it looks like I'm regular, but I come in when they want Daleks and then I go away again. The real regular stint was on the Radio Times really in 1996, which was 42 weeks long.
