jamie mathieson - screenwriter
Welcome to my site
Filled with Mathieson goodness; behind the scenes info on Doctor Who and other gigs, ramblings about writing for a living and more* (*may not contain more).
And for the record, yes, I do write with a stack of DVDs of every show I've worked on right next to me. On a pile of scripts I've written. Surrounded by props from my shows. Doesn't everyone?
'Siege Mode Tardis' pictured supplied by the excellent Rubbertoe Replicas.
i’ve written a book
It’s called THE FIRST TEN and can be purchased here in the UK and here in the US. I suggest you order a copy immediately and come back when you’re done.
I’m not claiming it will improve your life immeasurably. That would be irresponsible of me. But I’m not saying that it won’t either.
What’s that? You want to know what it’s about before you buy it?
Little pushy, but okay. You can read what’s on the back cover here.
Not enough? You want more?
How about a short interview with me about the book?
Or how about a free sample? A complete story, just for you. I suggest you read it, shake your head in admiration, wipe the tears of wonder from your eyes, then order the book. Then maybe order a few more for any friends and family who deserve a life-altering experience.
flatline script released
Both first draft and shooting script. Aren’t I good to you? Fair warning though, the first draft is grim stuff. Best avoid if you’re a young ‘un or of a sensitive disposition. You can find both of them here.
mummy on the orient express script released
People have been asking for this for years. So just to be contrary, I'm releasing the first draft, which I'm sure will delight a few people, but annoy oh so many more.
Most first drafts are very different animals to the final product. Mine tend to be a different species entirely. I've written an introduction here, and the script itself can be found here.
(And for those of you who prefer your scripts a little closer to what you saw on screen, the shooting script can be found here.)
