Terrance Dicks: Three Decades in Television and Beyond

Sat 24 Nov 1pm
Cubby Brocili Cinema

Terrance Dicks is probably best known as script editor of Doctor Who throughout the Jon Pertwee period of the programme and as the author of more than 70 books based on the series. But his work in television stretches from scripts for The Avengers and Crossroads in the early 1960s, through to producing the BBC’s classic Sunday serials of the 1980s.

To coincide with the anniversary weekend of the original Doctor Who series and the publication of a new book about Doctor Who novelisations, Terrance Dicks will be visiting the Museum to discuss his three decades in television and his later work as a children’s author.

The interview will be illustrated with rare photographs from the Museum’s own collection and clips from shows such as The Avengers, Moonbase 3, Space: 1999, Jane Eyre (1983), Oliver Twist, Vanity Fair, and Doctor Who. The discussion will be followed by a screening of all four episodes of Dicks’ 1980 Doctor Who story State of Decay, starring Tom Baker.
