Keith Temple
Episodes Broadcast: 2008
Keith Temple was a fan of Doctor Who while growing up in
Newcastle, Tyne and Wear, during the Seventies. His early writing career
was spent working on documentaries, but he moved into television drama
during the mid-Nineties as an assistant script editor on
Heartbeat. Temple subsequently wrote for the show, as well as for
programmes such as Casualty, EastEnders and Family
Affairs. After the turn of the century, his credits included
Crossroads, Byker Grove and Doc Martin. A
connection to Doctor Who executive producer Russell T Davies
came via Temple's partner, Morag Bain, who had produced episodes of
Children's Ward written by Davies. Temple was invited to develop
Planet Of The Ood, a 2008
adventure for David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor. He also wrote short
stories for the 2009 and 2010 editions of the Doctor Who
Storybook from Panini Publishing, as well as a comic strip for the
Doctor Who website. Temple's first novel, the mystery-comedy
It's Behind You, was released in 2010. In 2021, he scripted the
horror movie Wyvern Hill, in which he also had an on-screen
role. Temple novelised Planet Of The
Ood for Target Books in 2023.
