Christopher Bailey (born 20 April 1948) is a British academic and former screenwriter for television, particularly noted for his work on Doctor Who.
Doctor Who: The Unfolding Text by Tulloch and Alvarado included analysis of Kinda's Buddhist and Jungian symbology and related its tropes to Ursula K. Le Guin.
Script editor Eric Saward requested that Bailey devise another story idea.
The initial outline for May Time was commissioned on 24 August 1982[2] and was about the Doctor and his companions arriving at the court of Byzantium.
[3] Bailey had the reputation as a reluctant interviewee, but was interviewed by Benjamin Cook in 2002, and also by Shearman for the 2011 BBC DVD release of his two 1980s Doctor Who stories, collected as Mara Tales.
