- Andrew Cartmel fut l'éditeur de script de Doctor Who durant les trois dernières saisons de la série originelle de 1987 à 1989 et écrivit surtout autour du Septième Docteur. Il exerça le même métier pour l'émission Casualty durant une saison. Cartmel avait envisagé l'idée d'expliquer, avec quelques autres scénaristes, qui était réellement le Docteur. Cependant un tel projet n'a jamais été réalisé, car la série fut annulée et Cartmel avait l'intention de quitter Doctor Who pour l'émission Casualty.
- Hauptsächlich ist er durch seine konzeptionelle Prägung dieser Ära bekannt, die den damaligen Doctor interessanter und geheimnisvoller machen sollte. Dieses Konzept ist heute als Cartmel Masterplan bekannt, wobei auch sehr viele Aspekte dessen von den jeweiligen Doctor Who-Autoren stammten, die Cartmel zu dieser Zeit rekrutierte.
- The most lasting legacy of this new direction was the "Cartmel Masterplan", a backstory developed with other writers that restored some of the mystery of the Doctor's background and eventually would explain exactly who he was. Unfortunately, although hints were dropped in the last two seasons, the proposed revelations never materialised on screen because the programme was taken off the airwaves in 1989. In 2014, he began writing comic strip stories for Doctor Who Adventures magazine, including stories for the Eleventh and Twelfth Doctors.

- The most lasting legacy of this new direction was the "Cartmel Masterplan", a backstory developed with other writers that restored some of the mystery of the Doctor's background and eventually would explain exactly who he was. Unfortunately, although hints were dropped in the last two seasons, the proposed revelations never materialised on screen because the programme was taken off the airwaves in 1989. Even if Doctor Who had not come to an end in 1989, Cartmel would have left the show; he had already been head-hunted due to his success there to take over the script editor's role on the BBC's hugely popular medical drama series Casualty. After one season working on Casualty in 1990, Cartmel left the television industry for the rest of the decade. In the 1990s he wrote comic strips for Judge Dredd Megazine and Doctor Who Magazine and three Doctor Who novels for Virgin Publishing in their New Adventures series. This series used elements of the "masterplan" as part of their overall arc for the Doctor, particularly the last Seventh Doctor novel, Lungbarrow, written by Marc Platt. In 1999 his first original novel, The Wise, was published by Virgin's short-lived series of new science-fiction novels, Virgin Worlds. The same year, he became editor of the science-fiction magazine Starburst. His tenure was a short one and he left the magazine in 2000. In 2001 he returned to television as the script editor on the second season of Channel 5's fantasy / adventure series Dark Knight, writing what proved to be the series' final episode. He also wrote a stage thriller with Gothic overtones, End of the Night, which was successfully staged by Long Shadow Productions in the summer of 2003. In the 2000s he has also returned to Doctor Who fiction, writing the script Winter for the Adept for Big Finish Productions' range of Doctor Who audio dramas in 2000, a novella, Foreign Devils, for Telos Publishing in 2003, and the BBC Books novel Atom Bomb Blues in 2005. Cartmel had several other books published in 2005. Script Doctor - The Inside Story of Doctor Who 1986-89 is an account of his work on the Doctor Who television series. There was also another Doctor Who non-fiction book, Through Time: An Unofficial and Unauthorised History of Doctor Who, and he contributed to the charity reference book Behind the Sofa: Celebrity Memories of Doctor Who. In 2014, he began writing comic strip stories for Doctor Who Adventures magazine, including stories for the Eleventh and Twelfth Doctors. He lives in London and is currently lecturing at Saint Mary's College, Surrey.
