THE FACT OF FICTION
Scratching beneath the surface of Doctor Who’s most fascinating tales...
Before Doctor Who began, the original producer, Verity Lambert, asked me to write the very first story, but I was heavily engaged elsewhere and it finished up with Tony Coburn…” so author Terence Dudley claimed in 1988. In fact, 18 years or so passed before Dudley’s first Doctor Who script entered production, in 1981 – but in so many ways, Four to Doomsday comes across as a Doctor Who adventure of 1963-64 vintage.
