| - Lance Parkin was a storyliner on Emmerdale between 1998 and 1999.
- Lance Parkin est un écrivain anglais qui écrivit notamment beaucoup pour Doctor Who. Il est aussi assistant de production pour l'émission Emmerdale.
- He is further notable for his work with Big Finish Productions, where he is arguably most known for writing the Sixth Doctor adventure, Davros. He has also written most of the non-fiction book AHistory that attempts to make a consistent and linear timeline for all Doctor Who stories. Outside of Doctor Who, he has written things like Warlords of Utopia and (with Mark Jones) Dark Matter, a guide to the author Philip Pullman.
- Parkin was also briefly a member of the production team for the British soap opera Emmerdale Farm in 1999, about which he later wrote a non-fiction book, and two fiction novels based on the series. In 2003, he had a comic book miniseries based on one of his characters from the Doctor Who franchise for six issues. The comic was discontinued after 2004. He currently freelances for UK magazines, and is a column writer for a Doctor Who fanzine.
- While Gary was the official continuity advisor for Doctor Who, Lance was the unofficial continuity advisor for fandom, writing The Doctor Who Chronology, A History of the Universe, and the three subsequent versions all named AHistory. Instead of just ruling on what is and isn't canon and forcing it all to fit together and pretending there are no contradictions, AHistory treats everything as canon (even things like the Faction Paradox and Iris Wildthyme intentionally-out-of-canon spinoffs), goes out of its way to list all the contradictions, and treats fanwank as a fun game.

While Gary writes novels and audios where every line is an obscure continuity reference for no good reason, leaving no room for things like characters or plot, Lance writes novels and audios where obscure continuity references are used as a jumping-off point for interesting character stories or plots, which are usually pretty fun. Lance wrote The Dying Days, the last of the Virgin New Adventures with the Doctor, which was also the first Eighth Doctor story (since the TV movie obviously isn't canon), and also The Gallifrey Chronicles, the last of the Eighth Doctor Adventures, which was also the last Eighth Doctor story (since obviously everything after Zagreus isn't canon, especially The Night of the Doctor). He created the Doctor's wife Patience and the Doctor's daughter Miranda, plus most of the interesting stuff about the ancient Time Lords that didn't come from Marc Platt, plus Doctor Who novelist Mark Clapham. In between writing Doctor Who stuff, Lance worked with Gareth Roberts and Rebecca Levene as a story editor for Emmerdale, in preparation for Doctor Who returning to TV in soap opera form. Lance is also known for being a nice guy, who can be friends with Mad Larry and the Moff at the same time.
