Personal Life
In an interview on the Doctor Who: DWO Whocast, Cornell stated that this entry in Wikipedia described him as "...both a Christian and a pagan...", which he has chosen not to correct as it illustrates his sympathies for the pagan world. He then goes on to state that he is an Anglican but is very "...Low Church, almost a Calvinist.." and this is partly because he doesn't enjoy hymns.
Spiritual themes are not uncommon in his work (for example his novel Something More). Other frequent references in his work include owls.
Cornell is married to Caroline Symcox, who also has written Doctor Who-based audio plays for Big Finish Productions on her own and with Cornell.
In 2010, he appeared as a contestant on an episode of the BBC Four quiz show Only Connect.
