(1944-    ) UK Television scriptwriter, editor and author, mostly of his work being for the BBC, specifically as editor and writer for the Doctor Who series, beginning with Doctor Who and the Visitation (first presented 15-23 February 1982 in six parts as "The Visitation"). He was involved in a 1985 controversy over excess violence in the series, possibly occasioned by an insecure sense of the nature of the sequence's target audience, and resigned. [JC]
