He is a screenwriter, with early notable success on BBC's legendary \u003ci\u003eDoctor Who\u003c\/i\u003e, for which he wrote some episodes now widely regarded as classics, and which even he is quite fond of. After a decade of such work, he decided it was time to show the world what he could really do, and embarked on his first serious original novel. The result is \u003ci\u003eMidnight Riot\u003c\/i\u003e, the debut adventure of Peter Grant.
