It’s a special edition of the Doctor Who Missing Episodes Podcast! Gerry Davis was a key creative force behind Doctor Who in the mid-1960s, helping ensure that the series would continue onwards.
He served as story editor from 1966 to 1967. In that role, he helped steer the show toward a stronger science-fiction focus, emphasizing futuristic concepts and is best known for co-creating the Cybermen alongside Kit Pedler.
He also wrote several serials, some of which helped cement the Cybermen’s popularity, and contributed to developing the show’s format during a period of major transition.
Gerry’s friend Anthony Clark joined Tim to discuss his own association with the show, and also provided a previously unbroadcast interview with Gerry, which you can now hear for the first time, in which he talks about The Highlanders and The Moonbase.
Our Executive Producers are Bedwyr Gullidge, Rich Tipple and Anthony Wainer.
Cover art by Rhys Williams. Thanks, Rhys!
