Terrance Dicks

''I always used to say, Barry (Barry Letts) took over as producer, I took over as script editor, Jon Pertwee became the Doctor and the show went into colour. Modesty forbids me to say which is the most important. In fact, all these things came together.''

- Terrance Dicks

Terrance Dicks  (born Terrance William Dicks on 14 April 1935, died 29 August 2019) whom fans have long affectionately called "Uncle Terrance", script edited the Patrick Troughton and Jon Pertwee eras of Doctor Who and wrote many  Doctor Who  episodes, novels and novelisations, becoming one of the franchise's most prolific authors and scriptwriters. On the occasion of his death, We Are Cult's Jon Arnold said of Dicks: ' In a very real sense Dicks invented the Doctor as we know them today.'
