“Best of all, it’s just the first of exciting Beano news for me,” says Cavan, author of over 40 books and audio dramas including the Sunday Times Top 10 Bestseller Who-ology – The Official Doctor Who Miscellany.

“I can’t reveal any more as Minnie currently has a double-barrelled pea shooter aimed right at my head, but soon!”
