My first memory of Doctor Who is The Invisible Enemy and to me so John Leeson (and K9) has always been an integral part of the show. What an erudite, charming, courteous, multi-talented man. An INTERESTED & therefore INTERESTING fellow. A pleasure to be with. Bless him. RIP John.

I made a little show as an extra for BBC Radio 4 Extra (pretty much in my own time): it’s being repeated to mark 20 years since the death of Nigel Kneale. This sort of bonus (dare I say it Reithian?) content will not be possible once the station goes: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0016jc…
