Craig and Helper is my personal off shoot from "Doctor Who". I created it in 1979 as "Philip and Helper" as a dream thing with Helper being a character similar to the Great Gazoo from "The Flintstones". But I changed the direction of it when I wrote a story called "Helper's TARDIS". I worked on tying up the loose ends from there to turn Helper from a warlock to a Time Lord - and I changed Philip to Craig to de-personalise it. I created a lot of storylines in the first few years, finally winding back to a small number in 1986 with no new ideas since about 1996 or thereabouts. During the later years I went for stories to try and tie up some Who loose ends, and take advantage of some open endings (such as the conclusion of Trial of a Time Lord - which ultimately led to a story I called SOS Gallifrey). I also used a number of Who characters, in particular the monsters.

On the lower left are the links in this section. The leads concerns the Helpers (five of them) and Craig, while the rest are similar to the Doctor Who section in layout. The one exception is the "Feature" section, which will present some of the stories at some future point in time.
