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.

Internet Movie Database: Just How Silly Will Doctor Who 6.X Get?

Looking on the Internet Movie Database (IMBD) the cast listed is ridiculus.

As well as the Michael Gambon (confirmed) it has Zoe Tapper playing Death, and Katherine Jenkins. But if we look closer...Matthew Waterhouse, as Adric's ghost. Alex Kingston and John Simm as River Song and the Master. And Nick Briggs, Doctor Who voice veteran, playing the voice of the 'Cyber-Daleks'. Eh?


So I'm told, a few days ago they had Tom Baker on there as well.

Then again, these are the people who had Rory for 5.12...
