Peter Grimwade

Peter Grimwade (8 June 1942-15 May 1990) directed and wrote several Doctor Who stories. He also novelised his scripts for the Target Books range.

Grimwade was scheduled to direct a serial for Season Twenty entitled The Return, which would later become Resurrection of the Daleks. Unfortunately, industrial action disrupted filming and the story was eventually held over until the following year, with Matthew Robinson directing.

Grimwade was to write Peter Davison's penultimate serial Planet of Fire, but due to constantly changing requirements, he let script editor Eric Saward finish it.
