Those of you who know me personally know that I am a big fan of Doctor Who. I first came in contact with Dr Who through the novelizations of their TV episodes by Target and one of the most prolific writers of the novelizations was Terrance Dicks, he wrote more than 60 of the 156 books published. In addition he also edited or wrote over 150 episodes of Dr Who making him an important influencer of the programs mythos so I consider him one of my all time favorite authors. So it was a shock to come home after a road trip and find out that Terrance Dicks died last Thursday 29th August after a short illness at the age of 84.
My favorite quote by Dicks is the following:
“No point in being a grown-up if you can’t be childish.â€

RIP Terrance Dicks, you shall be missed.
