Rob Shearman: No, it was the lone Dalek idea that led Julie and Russell to contact me in the first place.
Rob Shearman: Well, I'm quite relieved it was only 45 minutes, because I think it gave an unremitting tension to the thing a cliffhanger might have interrupted.
Rob Shearman: I was assured that it would all fit in to the scheme of the season.

Rob Shearman establishes the characters and setting, lets them run for a bit in Episode 2 and 3, and then pulls off a stunning climax as the answers are revealed.
It is here that Shearman’s trademark juxtaposition of horror and comedy comes to the fore, with the other servants assuming that the scullery maid committed suicide, Shaughnessy happily telling the Doctor, “Edith was so simple minded that she didn’t realize that she couldn’t drown herself in the sink, and so she did”.
Shearman’s characterisation of Edith is masterful, and is vital to the pathos of the piece, since it makes her a figure easy to sympathize with; the real tragedy is of course that Charley didn’t even know her.

 Outpost Gallifrey: Reviews
Shearman’s dialogue intentionally misleads the listener into thinking that this could be Davros (Miriam even saying “…you might say he created them [the Daleks]”) but it is actually revealed to be the Doctor (from the other time frame), his legs amputated as punishment for repeated escape attempts.
Shearman has very cleverly used the right pace to bring the dark elements of the script slowly into the foreground, and the result is a much more affecting piece of work than it would have been if the humour was constant throughout, or if there was none at all.
Shearman has shown once again why he is more than worthy of the praise he has heaped upon him, and as shining examples of Colin Baker stories go, this one pretty much shines the brightest of all.

Mr Shearman described a couple of bits he had had trimmed out, such as when the Dalek downloads the internet but has to sift through a load of porn first.
Rob Shearman also talked about the tone of his story and the worry he felt when he first saw Aliens of London and thought he'd got the feel of the new series completely wrong.
I was able to get another few words with Rob Shearman and I asked him about the aliens he was forced to invent at short notice when they lost the rights to the Daleks.

Writer Rob Shearman still feels like he was handed a winning lottery ticket, only to discover it was a double rollover week.
Rob recalls: "When I told my wife that I'd been given the Dalek episode she wasn't impressed because, as she remembered them, they weren't anything to be that afraid of, and in a way she's right.
An accomplished writer for the theatre, TV and radio, Rob enjoyed "replaying" his childhood in the new series, having become a firm Doctor Who fan at the age of 11.

 [No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Gary chose to bookend 2003 with two Rob Shearman stories, by far the most popular of the writers on his staff and in both cases Rob produced something astonishingly good.
Rob Shearman asked to write an 8th Doctor and Charley story, with just the 2 of them in it.
With just two characters, barely any incidental music and short episodes, the result is quite a strange experience.The script is Rob Shearman`s weakest, mainly because he only has two established characters to work with and also because the thrust of the story deals with the overdone concept of love.

 Scherzo
Rob: So what happens is this - they wander around a big glass ring, eat raw alternate universe evolving monsters, chat a bit and then they sort of chat a bit more...
The darker, grittier style of this tune admirably suits the Eighth Doctor's BF adventures and I am sad to note that they have taken out the "oof oof oof oof" bit in later stories.
Sadly Douglas Adams is very very dead and has not written any of the alternate universes so apart from Shearman's exploration of the new universe's weirdness in Scherzo, the entire idea has gone to waste and I bet the bloke who thought it up is really narked.

 Samantha Wilkinson - Dalek
Since Rob Shearman was ripping himself off, it's not a huge crime, but I kinda hoped the guy had more than one Dalek story in him.
But Shearman reusing the Dalek plot (and even cutting and pasting some of the lines!) was a bit irritating for me as it meant I knew where the episode was going.
Apropos of nothing, Sam just mentioned to me that when she brought it up on the Outpost Gallifrey forums, Rob Shearman was amused by the insane idea I came up with while listening to "Jubilee", that the mystery man in the Tower was actually a freakishly modified, 121-year-old Franklin D. Roosevelt in a Davros rig.

Eighth Doctor on its start of a four part run December 2003 sees Robert Shearman's "Scherzo", which has been described as 'a powerful and highly emotional start to the new run'.
He felt Rob's background in both theatre and more traditional radio drama, plus of course his enviable ability to turn the one-line description "a two-hander, Doc and Charley alone, lost in a new universe and being somewhat fractious" into four episodes of lyrical, emotional and exciting drama, made him the obvious choice.

 Doctor Who's Companion (Frobisher)
Despite spending a lot of time as a penguin, Frobisher still uses his shape shifting-ability, although more sensibly than before - he once became a till checkout for fourteen years simply to be close to the girl who worked there.
Since joining the Doctor, he has been using his abilities for disguise and infiltration purposes, such as when he became the Doctor's coat during 'Mission: Impractical', to look around a location they had to rob to save two planets.
Frobisher also possess the Doctor's high esteem for life, having once changed his beak shape when he was appointed God of a castle in 'The Holy Terror', and a man made a mistake around the beak area, which may have got the man killed.

 Rob Shearman
I'm so proud that that was my first taste of Doctor Who celebrity..." The first but hardly the last - Big Finish audio plays by Rob Shearman have won DWM's annual polls on three separate occasions, and he has now graduated to working on the TV show itself...
I lost my passion for the show around the time of the hiatus - which seems remarkably fickle - not because I didn't think the show was good because I like Colin's first season and still do, but when it wasn't on TV it stopped being something I could learn and discuss new information about.
Gary's very good at being both supportive and knowing that it actually helps a writer enormously to know that you have a certain freedom, but he wouldn't let me do any old rubbish.
