Scott Handcock joins Bad Wolf
A Big Finish creative powerhouse is hanging up his headphones to take on a new challenge in the world of television.
The multi-talented Scott Handcock is a writer, producer, script editor, director and actor, much loved by regular Big Finish listeners. He has been involved in numerous audio dramas at the company since 2006, when he debuted with a Dark Shadows audio script, and is the creator of The Confessions of Dorian Gray series starring Alexander Vlahos.
As well as his audio credits, Scott has previously worked on Doctor Who Confidential and The Sarah Jane Adventures and was the production secretary for Doctor Who in 2011.
Now, Scott has joined Bad Wolf - the TV production company making the next series of Doctor Who - to take on a new role as script editor. Everyone at Big Finish hopes you will join us in wishing him well.
