Steve Nallon

Steve began his performing life with his own comedy act on the Northern Working Men’s Club Circuit in Yorkshire back in the 1970s. After gaining a degree in Drama and English at the University of Birmingham, Steve became a founding member of the television series Spitting Image, where for over a decade he voiced many of the programme’s most iconic characters, including Margaret Thatcher, Alan Bennett and The Queen Mum. Steve’s acting work now ranges from theatre, film and television, to video games, radio drama and audio books. As a playwright and comedy writer, Steve has a considerable body of credits to his name, including plays and series for BBC radio, three one-man theatre shows and the satirical book I, Margaret, which he co-wrote with Tom Holt. In 2022 Steve’s novel The Time That Never Was, the first book in a new young adult book series called The Swidgers, was published by Luath Press, and the second in the series, The Time They Saved Tomorrow, came out in 2024. Destination Time Travel, an exploration of the story tropes of time travel tales written with British Film Institute archivist Dick Fiddy, was published in 2023. Over the years, Steve has contributed to numerous periodicals such as The New Statesman and Musical Stages, and is a much sought after speaker on the lecture circuit and in university colleges for his insightful and amusing talks.

Scott Brooker

Growing up in a haunted house, Scott Brooker is no stranger to the weird and supernatural – talking of which, he first met Steve in 1984, when he began his ghastly career as character designer and puppet-maker when he joined the Spitting Image team in an old banana warehouse in London’s Docklands. Since then he has designed and/or made many characters for TV, film, ads and theatre, including the Peperami sausage, Rattus from CBBC’s Horrible Histories, and the woefully under-rated The Harry Hill Movie. Thanks to Steve, this is Scott’s first foray into the weird and supernatural world of publishing.
