 Terrance Dicks, Doctor Who writer and script editor, dies at 84 British author Terrance Dicks, best known for his long association with Doctor Who, has died at the age of 84. Dicks worked as script editor on more than 150 episodes of the classic sci-fi show. He also wrote numerous episodes. Yet he is arguably better known for the many Doctor Who novelisations he wrote for the Target Books imprint. Author Jenny Colgan said he had "helped more children (especially boys) develop a lifelong love of reading than almost anyone else who's ever lived". Sci-fi writer Neil Gaiman also paid tribute, saying he would have never written for Doctor Who had Dicks not shown him how to do it. Mark Gatiss, another member of the Doctor Who writing family, remembered Dicks as "a brilliant TV professional [and] a funny and generous soul". He was also, Gatiss continued, "an inspirational writer who took so many of us on unforgettable journeys into space and time". Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who's current show runner, said Dicks had been "responsible for some of the show's greatest moments and iconic creations". |
