Turlough had resisted the urge to laugh as the Doctor pottered on about "returning a hero" and such things. He wouldn't be returning a hero, he'd be returning a pawn. But if he wasn't there, they would use Malkon instead, and he didn't trust the Doctor's steering skills to get him back to Trion at the right time. ( So he would go back to Trion, fifteen years after he'd left, despite only having lived five and give up this false sense of freedom for a life juggling expectations and politics to spare Malkon the same. )

What part of your character's life do you like to write about most? What is it about it that makes it so interesting to explore?

Recently my attention has been most focused on his life after he leaves the Doctor on Sarn.

• We know nothing about Turlough's life on Trion or about the civil war there or why he was exiled.
• He chooses to go back ( Read more... )

When he thought back to his exile on Earth, his overwhelming impression was grey. Grey walls, grey uniform, grey skies. He knew this was a falsehood. The stone walls might have been brown or beige and the sky sometimes blue and cloudless. If he examined his memories, he recalled green grass, brightly coloured banners and moments of joy ( Read more... )

They always wander off.

Meeting new people. Well, that’s easy enough, isn’t it?

I’d say my time with the Doctor has left me rather good at the business of introductions. That was years ago though. Since then politics has kept me in practice. I’m Turlough and I’ve a feeling we’ll get along well enough provided you don’t send me back to Brendon.

Appearances can be deceiving. Haven’t you ever heard that it is unwise to judge book by its cover? The cover of my book is misleading; the words on my pages are all calculated lies. You don’t know who I am. You never will ( Read more... )
