A Tribute to Chris Boucher

 

Following the sad news of Chris Boucher's death last month, we bring you Alan Stevens' touching tribute to the modest and ascerbic man behind so many of the things that made Kaldor City what it is. We all miss Chris very much.

Stephen Greif 1944-2022

We at Magic Bullet are very sorry to hear of the death of Stephen Greif who kindly contributed his insights into the character he created for Travis: The Final Act. Stephen was always a hit at conventions with his stories about his extensive and versatile career on stage and screen.

 

Chris Boucher (1943-2022)

All of us at Magic Bullet are very sorry to hear of the death this morning of Chris Boucher, co-creator of Kaldor City, writer of Doctor Who: The Face of Evil, The Robots of Death, and The Image of the Fendahl, script editor of Blake's 7; and creative stalwart of many other genres of television. 

Chris was always hugely supportive and we will miss him very much on a personal as well as a professional level. 

Read a 1992 interview with Chris here and a later one here.
