MAT OSMAN

Mat Osman is best known as the bass player in Suede, which he co-founded. He grew up in Haywards Heath, near Brighton, where he met the band’s Brett Anderson. Mat wrote some of Suede’s songs, including Attitude and Golden Gun, both on a double A-sided single. Suede’s debut album, released in 1992, won the Mercury Music Prize. Their biggest-selling album is 1996’s Coming Up, which featured singles such as Trash and Beautiful Ones. After Suede broke up in 2003, he composed music for TV shows, including 8 Out of 10 Cats.

PHILIP HINCHCLIFFE

Philip Hinchcliffe was the producer of Doctor Who from 1975 to 1977, which saw the first sixteen stories of Tom Baker’s time in the title role. This period, of which Philip had a key role in its production, is viewed by many as the best, and the darkest, in the series’ history. His first story was The Ark in Space, broadcast in January 1975, and The Talons of Weng Chiang was the last. Other classic stories that he produced include Genesis of the Daleks, The Seeds of Doom and Pyramids of Mars. Many of those Philip produced, due to close collaborations with writers and script editors, had a distinctly gothic feel. After leaving Doctor Who, he wrote some novels for Target Books, based on some of his TV stories. Later, he produced episodes of Taggart and Rebus, based on Ian Rankin’s books. More recently, Philip wrote Doctor Who audio dramas for production company Big Finish.
