I've just read all seven parts. They're quite brilliant- great prose style, great characterisation, lots of tension and, er, excitement!

Am I alone in visualising "Mr Tennant" as a certain actor...?

Thank you! A compliment indeed.

No, you're not alone. His fumbling around for ointments and babbling after Mr Birch had caned Myra was typically Doctorish behaviour. I pinch real people's character traits (although the Doctor is a fictional character) and transplant them into my characters, breathing life into them in the process. It's like a bolt of lightning in a Frankenstein film: "It's al-i-ve!!"

Part Eight will see the introduction of a rather foul-mouthed and very opinionated girl called Chelsea Fowkes. She's what one would call a "chav" and she says one swear word too many, with predictable results!
