Terrance Dicks wrote for the show from 1968-1983 and was 'one of the greatest contributors to Doctor Who's history'.
As one of the original writers of the show, Dicks was once described by the Doctor Who News Page"arguably the most prolific contributor to Doctor Who".
The 1983 episode titled The Five Doctors, which celebrated the show's 20th anniversary and featured Troughton and Pertwee in reprising their original roles, was perhaps his best loved work.Dicks also adapted the TV series into a series of over 60 books, and co-wrote a history of the production of the show The Making of Doctor Who.
In a 2013 interview Dicks explained what he believed was behind Doctor Who's longevity, telling The Register:"I've always said that the reason for its success is its variety. However, there was one development he wasn't a fan of, complaining in 2016 that there was too much sex on the early evening show.
