'''Terrance Dicks''' (born 1935) is probably the closest thing the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' franchise has to a single "public face", and has been involved with the show for a longer period of time than anyone ever.
He was hired as assistant script editor in 1968 through the recommendation of his friend and fellow writer Malcolm Hulke, and became full script editor in 1969. He and Barry Letts, the producer, had creative control of the show for all five seasons in which [[Jon Pertwee]] played the Doctor.
Line 18 ⟶ 19:
After leaving ''[[Doctor Who]]'', he and Letts created the short-lived and [[Darker and Edgier|extremely grim]] hard-SF BBC show ''[[Moonbase Three]]'', and then worked on many adaptations of classic novels and other literature for the Beeb. His early pre-''Who'' TV work included episodes of ''[[The Avengers (TV series)|The Avengers]]'' and ''[[Crossroads]]''.
