Paul Cornell (born July 18 1967) is a British writer best known for his work in television drama as well as "Doctor Who" fiction, and as the creator of one of the Doctor's spin-off companions, Bernice Summerfield.

As well as "Doctor Who", other television dramas for which he has written include "Robin Hood", "Primeval", "Casualty", "Holby City" and "Coronation Street".

Cornell has also written for a number of British comics, as well as Marvel Comics in America, and has had two original novels published in addition to his "Doctor Who" fiction.

Professional biography

Already known in "Doctor Who" fan circles, Cornell's professional writing career began in 1990 when he was a winner in a young writers’ competition and his entry, "Kingdom Come", was produced and screened on BBC Two. Soon after, he wrote "", a novel for the Virgin New Adventures series of "Doctor Who" novels. "Timewyrm: Revelation" was a reworking of a serialised fan fiction piece Cornell had penned previously for the fanzine "Queen Bat". Several other "Doctor Who" novels followed, including the award-winning "Human Nature".

Cornell then began working for Granada Television, where he wrote for the popular children’s medical drama "Children's Ward" and created his own children’s series "Wavelength" for Yorkshire Television, which ran for two series. He made the crossover to working in adult television full-time in 1996, when he was one of the main contributors to Granada’s supernatural soap opera "Springhill", which ran for two years on Sky One and later on Channel 4.

After a short stint on "Coronation Street", he began working for other production companies, including contributing an episode in 1999 to Red Production Company’s anthology drama series "Love in the 21st Century" for Channel 4. His episode, entitled "Masturbation", starred Ioan Gruffudd as Jack. He was due to be one of the writers on Red Production Company’s planned "Queer as Folk" spin-off series "Misfits", but the series was never made, being abruptly cancelled by Channel 4.

In the 21st century he has written mainly for the BBC, contributing episodes to all three of their regular medical dramas: "Casualty", "Holby City" and the daytime soap opera "Doctors". He also contributed to the 1950s-set Sunday evening prime time drama series "Born and Bred" and was one of the writers of the 2005 series revival of "Doctor Who", writing the episode "Father's Day". The episode was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form in 2006 and came third in terms of votes for its category. Cornell later wrote a two-part story for "Doctor Who"'s 2007 series, based on his 1995 Virgin New Adventures novel "Human Nature". The title of the first episode was also "Human Nature", while the second was titled "The Family of Blood". ["Doctor Who Magazine", issue 378 (December 2006)] In 2008, the two episodes were nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form.cite web

In February 2006, Cornell announced in a post on his weblog [ [http://paulcornell.blogspot.com/2006/02/robin-hood-and-business-ongoing.html Paul Cornell's House of Awkwardness: Robin Hood and business ongoing ] ] that he would be writing an episode for the BBC's forthcoming "Robin Hood", produced by Tiger Aspect Productions for the same Saturday evening family slot as "Doctor Who". He later announced on his blog that he was also writing a second "Robin Hood" episode for later in the first series. His first episode, "Who Shot The Sheriff?", aired on BBC One on October 21 2006. His second, "A Thing Or Two About Loyalty", followed on December 2 2006. He also wrote an episode for the second season of another Saturday evening family adventure programme, the ITV science-fiction series "Primeval", transmitted in February 2008.cite web|url=http://paulcornell.blogspot.com/2007/04/primeval.html|title=Primeval|first=Paul|last=Cornell|authorlink=|publisher=Paul Cornell's House of Awkwardness|date=2007-04-24|accessdate=2007-04-24]

Outside of television, he has been active in various other media, having written six "Doctor Who" novels for Virgin Publishing and BBC Books during the 1990s, three "Doctor Who" audio dramas for Big Finish Productions and a fully-animated internet-broadcast "Doctor Who" adventure, "Scream of the Shalka" (starring Richard E. Grant as the Doctor) for BBCi in 2003. He has also written two mainstream science-fiction novels, "Something More" and "British Summertime" for Gollancz, and various novels, short stories and audio dramas based around a character he created for the New Adventures, Professor Bernice Summerfield, and whom he later licensed to Big Finish Productions.

He has also co-authored (often working with Keith Topping and Martin Day) several non-fiction books on television, including "The Guinness Book of Classic British TV", "X-treme Possibilities" (a guide to "The X-Files"), and "The Discontinuity Guide" (a humorous guide to "Doctor Who"). (Topping and Day's "Doctor Who" novel "The Devil Goblins from Neptune" was also based on an original idea with Cornell.) He has also written comics, both for "Doctor Who Magazine" and "2000AD" spin-off "Judge Dredd Megazine".

He has written "Wisdom", a 6-issue limited series for Marvel Comics' MAX imprint, featuring the character Peter Wisdom, with art by Trevor Hairsine and Manuel Garcia.

Personal life

In an interview on the , Cornell stated that this entry in wikipedia described him as "..both a Christian and a pagan..", which he has chosen not to correct as it illustrates his sympathies for the pagan world. He then goes on to state that he is an Anglican but is very "..Low Church, almost a Calvinist.." and this is partly because he doesn't enjoy hymns.

Spiritual themes are not uncommon in his work (for example his novel "Something More"). Other frequent references in his work include owls. [ [http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/ebooks/human_nature/adaptation.shtml BBC - Doctor Who - Classic Series - Ebooks - Human Nature - Adaptation ] ]

Cornell is married to Caroline Symcox, who also has written "Doctor Who"-based audio plays for Big Finish Productions on her own and with Cornell.
