Kevin Burnard ’s introduction to Doctor Who was the final minutes of Love & Monsters at age ten, but he doesn’t hold that against it. Incredibly, he went on to then watch the rest of the new series, fall head-over-heels for the Moffat era, binge the classic series, and devote far too much time and brain space to the endless novels and audios. Take that, fan wisdom. Clearly the paving slab worked. He is currently pursuing a writing career, and in the meantime can be found being far too opinionated on Twitter and taking most of his clothes off on Instagram. He even has a bit of a love life, but let’s not go into that.
This week, Nathan, Brendan, Steven from New to Who and Kevin Burnard join Amy and the Doctor as they head off to a version of Britain in the distant future which is exactly like the Britain that they just left — crumbling, nostalgic and in deep denial about the giant alien whale in the basement.
