Malcolm Hulke

Malcolm Hulke (died 6th July 1979) was the author of many Doctor Who scripts and Target Books novelisations.

Biography
Hulke began his association with Doctor Who as early as Season 1, for which he contributed the storyline for The Hidden Planet (a.k.a.Behind the Sun), a serial which ultimately did not get accepted. Along with Terrance Dicks, in The War Games, he co-created the concept of the Time Lords. He also created the reptilian races the Silurians, their cousins the Sea Devils, and the Draconians. For Target Books, he wrote novelisations of every story he had written solo, and several he had worked on with other writers.

He also wrote scripts for a variety of TV shows including: The Avengers, The Protectors, Danger Man, Crossroads, United! and Gideon's Way.

He is noted for fleshing out minor characters in novelisations, writing shades of grey, and a strong interest in left-wing politics. Alan Barnes noted in the On Target: Malcolm Hulke documentary included in The War Games DVD that you can "see a political subtext in everything he wrote".
