The castor way
Article Abstract:
The success of the BBC television series 'Doctor Who' was due mainly to the work of writer Terry Nation, who died recently. He created the Daleks, space creatures which appealed greatly to children and appeared in a considerable number of series. The most significant Dalek series was 'Genesis of the Daleks,' broadcast in 1974. Nation was also involved in other projects, including the Frankie Howerd horror comedy 'The House in Nightmare Park.'
