SHOW NOTES

(00:00:00) Our guest on this episode is Ian Winterton of Cutaway Comics. Cutaway Comics is a new British imprint of comics and graphic novels drawn from the darker recesses of a dangerous, unpredictable cutaway universe. From the creators of the acclaimed Vworp Vworp! Magazine, they star some of the most enigmatic characters to have graced our screens. Beginning with a four-issue limited series written by Eric Saward (Doctor Who) and featuring the mercenary Lytton (as portrayed by Gangster’s Maurice Colbourne), Cutaway Comics is also bringing you art from the UK’s hottest artists including Barry Renshaw (Judge Dredd, Strontium Dog). Cutaway Comics is inspired by the so-called ‘backup’ strips of Doctor Who Weekly, which delved deeper into the characters and cultures of the Doctor Who universe away from the Doctor. Stay tuned for some exciting and unprecedented explorations of the worlds of Doctor Who and beyond. Ian also appears on the Cutaway Bunker podcast.

( ) “Why Don’t You…? (originally Wdyjsoytsagadslbi?: Why don’t you just switch off your television set and go and do something less boring instead?) was a BBC children’s television series broadcast in 42 series between 20 August 1973 and 21 April 1995. It was originally broadcast in the morning during the school summer holidays. The format consisted of groups or “gangs” of children responding to letters from viewers who wrote into the show suggesting games, ‘makes’ and days out. Typically these were arts-and-crafts activities or games and magic tricks children could learn to impress their friends. Russell T Davies was later at one time a producer and director for “Why Don’t You…?”. Under Davies’s direction, the format of the series shifted from magazine show to drama.
