A founding member (in 1976) of the Doctor Who Appreciation Society (DWAS) - the show’s earliest fan club still running today, Andrew became its chairman in the 1980s and Events Organizer throughout the 1990s. Due to his unrivalled knowledge of the program since the very beginning, and his skill-set as a commercial lawyer, thereafter he has worked alongside the BBC, initially as a freelancer, to advise its commercial division (BBC Enterprises, later BBC Worldwide and latterly BBC Studios) on some of their "Doctor Who" business operations.
His experiences over the last 35 years have included (1) providing Content, Production and Rights information and advice for multiple BBC departments on a myriad issues, (2) advising on the content, rights and marketing of the ‘classic’ "Doctor Who" DVD - and now Blu Ray - range, (3) supervising key elements of the public events (‘conventions’) held to celebrate the show’s 30th, 40th and 50th Anniversaries, (4) working within the BBC Studios Live Events team as Content Supervisor generally and, more specifically, as Curator/Artefacts Advisor for "The Doctor Who Experience" (2010-2017) and (5) liaising with the auction house tasked with the sale of "Doctor Who" props and costumes over the years.
