Special effects genius Matt irvine interview

By Owen Quinn author of the Time Warriors and Zombie Blues

A long time ago I went to Lisburn’s library for an evening with Matt Irvine. Matt was head fo special effects at the BBC for years and also the creator behind K9. His first job was the monster filled Jon Pertwee story the Curse of Peladon. He has covered so many shows including Blake’s 7, the Tripods and Robot Wars to name a few. I caught up with him then and recently found this video of that interview which was featured on FTN channel. Enjoy.

I am a resident of Northern Ireland and have been a life long science fiction and horror fan. My desire to write for his favourite show Doctor Who at the age of fifteen led to the birth of the Time warriors series. I am the creator of the Time Warriors and Zombie Blues books. I am a regular attendee at conventions and infamously fell and broke his shoulder at his first Walker Stalker convention in London but still managed to keep my photo ops with both Chandler Riggs and Danai Gurira. I am a keen photographer and also have a secret desire to be the first Irish Doctor Who. Russell T Davies I have stories galore for the show!
