Gerry Davis (23 February 1930-31 August 1991[1]) was script editor of Doctor Who from 1966 to 1967. According to Anneke Wills, he originated the idea of the Doctor changing their body. He is the co-creator of the Cybermen with Kit Pedler.

According to the documentary Cybermen: The Early Years, he also co-wrote The Moonbase with Pedler, but was uncredited due to BBC policy at the time.

Legacy[]

Following his death, he and Kit Pedler were credited for creating the Cybermen for their appearances in the post-2005 era of Doctor Who.

His original version of Revenge of the Cybermen was adapted as an audio drama for Big Finish, released under its originally-intended title Return of the Cybermen.

Archive interviews with Davis were read out by actors for the documentaries The End of the Line?, The Power of the Daleks - From Script to Screen and Second Time Around.
