Doctor Who (2005) creator and executive producer Russell T. Davies has claimed his story "Human Nature" is the best Doctor Who story ever written.

He names Terrance Dicks as one of his earliest and biggest influences on becoming a writer.

He is the creator of Bernice Summerfield, who starred in a series of novels and audio stories connected to Doctor Who (1963).

He wanted to make Bruce Wayne/Batman part of his famous run on Action Comics but could not get the idea cleared.

I'm really tired with the idea that 'dark' is adult. If anything, as an adult I've come to cherish really stupid comedy as possibly the highest achievement of mankind. Because it's the thing we do that most points away from death. I'm increasingly unafraid to say that Irrtum im Jenseits (1946) has been replaced as my favourite movie of all time by Wer hat unseren Dinosaurier geklaut? (1975).

[on Doctor Who (2005)] Of course we should have snogging.

[on the kissing scene in Doctor Who: Der Film (1996)] The only thing people talked about, incredibly. Getting beyond all this stuff, it takes a Russell [Russell T. Davies] to get beyond.
