The First Doctor meets Richard the Lionheart in the Third Crusade, in a new edition of a Doctor Who classic
David Whitaker was the first Story Editor for Doctor Who, and was
responsible for finding and commissioning writers, and it was
Whitaker as much as anyone who defined the narrative shape of
Doctor Who. He wrote for the Doctor Who annuals, novelised the
first Dalek story and his own script of The Crusade, and worked
with Terry Nation on various Dalek-related material including the
hugely successful comic strip The Daleks, which appeared in the
Gerry Anderson magazine TV Century 21.
Whitaker's own scripts for the programme, in particular his two
Dalek stories for the second Doctor - The Power of the Daleks and
The Evil of the Daleks - are remembered as being amongst the very
best of Doctor Who. David Whitaker died in 1980.
