Author Talk: Tim Foley

The Rockery, Tropical Beach Sounds, Cuckoo, Poker Face, I would say Foley is the peak of Torchwood writers, but James Goss exists

A very close second though

Goss, Foley and Lidster are the holy trinity of Torchwood writers for me :heart_eyes:

And Guy Adams as a close #4!

Foley’s an incredible talent and I can’t wait for him to get the opportunity to really make a range his own like Alfie Shaw did with 11DC’s.

What about Ash Darby? Art Decadence was excellent

They also wrote SUV…which ranks rather low..

(I thought it was alright, but I think (theory) they wanted Burn Gorman with Naoko Mori, and couldn’t get him, so turned it into a Ianto & Tosh one instead)

Do we actually know if they’re real, Ash Darby is an anagram of A Shy Bard after all

Mentioned before but there’s a theory it’s multiple writers too.

Or a name for stories which had to be changed to the point the author disowned them

I’ve seen the theory that it’s RTD, or that Art Decadence Ash Darby was RTD

I saw somewhere that someone thought Hostile Environment was written by RTD. I haven’t heard it so have no idea, but Art Decadence didn’t feel like RTD at all to me.
