Fact of the Day: Peter Grimwade

(8th June 1942 - 15th May 1990)

Peter Grimwade was the director of the stories Full Circle, Logopolis, Kinda and Earthshock. He also wrote Time-Flight, Mawdryn Undead and Planet of Fire.

FACT: He both introduced and killed Adric, in his first and last episodes directed.
He wrote the following serial with an appearance from Adric, as a vision to persuade the TARDIS crew not to go any further. In reality, this was included in order to maintain the shock of the character's death by giving actor Matthew Waterhouse a billing in the Radio Times!

Peter Grimwade died in 1990 of Leukemia.

Thanks to TARDIS Wiki for the date feature that I found events on. This was written entirely by me.
