"The lights of Doctor Who are dimmer tonight," he said. "He was one of The Greatest contributors to Doctor Who 's history, on screen and off.

'More Than just another Doctor Who writer'

by Lizo Mzimba , entertainment correspondent

Terrance Dicks was More Than just another Doctor Who Writer. His stories were some of The Most influential of the original classic series.

His first credited script for The Show was 1969's The War Games with Patrick Troughton . Producer Derrick Sherwin had suggested the concept that The Doctor came from a race called the Time Lords.

The War Games script from Dicks and co-writer Malcolm Hulke took that idea and successfully introduced audiences to one of the series' most popular and longest-running elements.

As script editor, Dicks - Together with producer Barry Letts - was one of The Creators of The Doctor 's arch-enemy The Master , introduced in the Jon Pertwee episode Terror of the Autons.

Just as importantly, the huge number of Doctor Who novelisations he wrote were instrumental in awakening A Love of reading and an enduring passion for books in A Generation of children.
