The year 2002 was when Cook found the elusive Doctor Who scriptwriter Christopher Bailey and conducted an interview with him for DWM. This resulted in Robert Shearman to write Deadline the acclaimed audio-play with Derek Jacobi as retired writer Martin Bannister (loosely based on Bailey) and Ian Brooker as journalist Sydney (loosely modelled on Cook) and journalist in Juliet Bravo Magazine. Juliet Bravo Magazine. In a 2004 interview, Shearman explained:

In November 2008, it was announced that Richard and Judy, the couple credited with revolutionising the reading habits of Britons, had selected The Writer’s Tale for their Christmas Presents book strand – in the Serious Non-Fiction category – as part of the prestigious Richard & Judy Book Club. The couple described the book as “an absolute snapshot into the mind of a creative writer… It’s a free flow of thought – a stream of consciousness. It’s a great book.”

In 2008, BBC Books published Doctor Who: The Writer’s Tale, based on an in- depth email correspondence between Cook and Doctor Who executive producer Russell T Davies, spanning February 2007 to March 2008, during production of the show’s fourth series. Extracts were published in The Times on 16 and 17 September 2008, and the book itself met with positive reviews. Esther Walker of The Independent predicted that “the fans will adore it. Davies has engaged with the book totally and there is full disclosure from him about everything.” The Daily Telegraph’s Robert Colvile called the book “Remarkably open”, adding: “Despite the self-deprecating bonhomie, there’s a ruthless confidence to Davies.” In a five-star review for Heat magazine, Boyd Hilton called it “a funny, revealing insight into the workings of the genius who puts the show together.” In another five-star review, SFX Magazine said, “You can douse all the other books about new Who in lighter fuel and spark up your Zippo – this is all you need. It’s the only one that opens a door into the brain of the series’ showrunner.” Darren Scott of The Pink Paper – which also awarded the book five stars – agreed: “If you’re an uber fan of the show… or an aspiring (or even established) writer, this book will very, very quickly fall into the ‘can’t put down’ category.” Scott Matthewman of The Stage said, “I can’t recommend The Writer’s Tale highly enough… It’s a genuine insight into the entire television production process.” “The Writer’s Tale is an enormous book, but consumed compulsively it doesn’t last very long at all,” said Thom Hutchinson of Death Ray magazine. “We learn, brilliantly, the difference between bellowing media personage Big Russell and the apprehensive, chain- smoking obsessive who exists alone and silent in the early hours.” The Scotsman’s team of arts writers said: “The Writer’s Tale offers a fascinating insight into the writing of one of TV’s biggest hits.” Veronica Horwell of The Guardian called it “the Doctor Who Annual for adults”, suggesting that 500-odd pages “is not nearly enough, should have been 1001 pages, because Davies doesn’t need to be writing fiction, shaping stuff retrieved from the flux of his Great Maybe, to be a storyteller. He’s the Scheherazade of Cardiff Bay.” Horwell described Davies as “a total romantic about writing. It’s his love, his drug, his force for change: over the year even invisible, unopinionated Cook emerges as a proper companion who challenges Davies over the last image in the series. And wins. Brilliant.”

He attended Richmond upon Thames College from 1999 until 2001, and between 2002 and 2006, he attended Collingwood College at the University of Durham in Durham, where he took classes in English Literature.
