James Goss
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James Goss (1974 -) is a senior content producer for the BBC and in charge of the BBC's official Doctor Who website.
Originally the site was part of the Cult TV website. Goss slowly expanded the content, to include Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Farscape, The Simpsons, 24 and Doctor Who.
He was subsequently voted Number 19 in TV Cream's 2004 poll of Top 50 Media Movers and Shakers.
With the return of Doctor Who in 2005, the Cult site was slowly wound down so as to concentrate on the return of the show. Goss moved to BBC Wales to oversee the production of the new show's website, expanding the contents to include cast and crew interviews, games and spin-off sites based on the broadcast episodes. His aim was to construct a whole world beyond the show that viewers could get further involved in, notably employing graphic designer Lee Binding for front pages and site design. Sequence [1] a Cardiff based design agency were also responsible for all of the 2006 Doctor Who series games, experiences and many of the associated websites.
Goss is also well known for his stage play adaptation of the Douglas Adams book Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. It was adapted for performance with fellow student Arvind Ethan David, and has since been staged around the world.
Goss studied English at Oxford University and has also worked at BBC Radio Oxford, Computer Virus Bulletin magazine, Cybersoft Magazine, and the Co-Op.
