Talk:Time's Champion

no longer in favor of deleting Time's Champion article
I didn't know that it would get published in hardcopy, i.e. not just on the web. please keep dicussion of continuity from this out of main articles, though, if you would. --Stardizzy2 18:46, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

From conversations I'd had with Craig Hinton, his understanding was that the book was never rejected by the BBC so much as BBC Books commissioned Spiral Scratch. Is there any evidence of the rejection? 86.133.30.235 08:13, 9 April 2009 (UTC) Adrian Middleton


 * There is this interview on the BBC's website from 2004 with Craig Hinton in which he says (responding to the questions 'What's the Doctor Who book you wish you'd written?':

"That's easy: the Sixth Doctor's regeneration. Given all the work that has been put into the rehabilitation of his character, I'd have liked to have written a fitting send-off, rather than the dreary rubbish that Pip and Jane Baker came up with in their novelisation of Time and the Rani. Banging his head? Be off with you! It would have tied up all of the loose threads, such as the origin and purpose of the Valeyard, and brought in all of the cosmic stuff – the Guardians, the Time Lord Gods, and Time's Champion – touched upon in some of the Virgin novels. And it would have been a heroic victory for him on both a personal and a universal scale. Sadly, it was rejected."
