Chris McKeon remembers Terrance Dicks

Regular listeners to The Trap One Podcast might remember that a few weeks we put together a tribute to the legendary Doctor Who writer Terrance Dicks following his death in August. It features contributions from lots of Trap One regulars and a great interview with the man himself courtesy of the Whoovers. That episode is available to listen to here.

One of the contributors was Chris McKeon, writer of the Sixth Doctor novel Time’s Champion and the Third Doctor fan audio series The Final Game, which you can check out here.

With his usual enthusiasm and generosity Chris recording a piece that was much longer than I could use in the Terrance Dicks episode, but it’s a very comprehensive, knowledgeable and personal look at Terrance’s Doctor Who work, in particular in covering his career after being script editor and then writing so many of the Target novels that I thought I’d put it out as a podcast on its own - Chris McKeon Remembers Terrance Dicks.
