Andrew Smith (British writer)

Andrew Smith (born 27 July 1962) is a British screenwriter, playwright and author, best known for his work with the BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who.

Career
At seventeen-years-old, Smith achieved his ambition to write for Doctor Who with Full Circle, the third serial of the 18th season. Working titles for this story included The Planet That Slept. It broadcast in four weekly parts on BBC1 from 25 October to 15 November 1980. A novelisation of this serial, written by Smith, was published by Target Books in September 1982.

After limited success in television, Smith left the industry and joined the police. Decades later, he would return to Doctor Who, becoming a regular writer for Big Finish Productions. In addition to Doctor Who, Smith's other audio dramas would include Survivors, based on the 1970s BBC television series; Star Cops, based on the cult 1987 TV series created by Chris Boucher, and their Originals boxset, Transference, starring Alex Kingston.
