{{tropecreator}}
A British producer, born in Wales in 1930.
 
He created two very well-known UK shows.
* ''[[BlakesBlake's Seven (TV)7|Blakes Seven]]'' He wrote the first series, but his role reduced, until he did not write anything for the fourth and final season.
* ''[[Survivors (TV series)|Survivors]]''. An [[After the End]] show, about the aftermath of a massive plague. Nation only worked on the first season, before leaving due to creative differences with the producer, Terence Dudley (who would also work on ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'').
** He also wrote a novel adaptation, which forms the basis for [[Survivors (TV series)|the 2008 reimagining]]
 
His most famous creation, though, was the Daleks. He came up with the concept and wrote the first story, while [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond_Cusick:Raymond Cusick|Raymond Cusick]] devised the iconic design. Contributing in a huge way to the show's longevity, Nation was asked to write several other stories over the years. The Nation Estate owns the copyright to the Daleks jointly with [[The BBC]], the latter wholly owning the copyright for all the other monsters bar the Cybermen.
 
He also worked on ''[[MacGyver]]''.
