Before becoming a film scriptwriter, Terry Nation was a prolific writer of UK television scripts in both the action and science fiction genres. His scripts are noted for their depth, i.e. they usually have many sub-plots as well as
the main plot. As a writer on the BBC's Doctor Who (1963) series, he created the
Daleks, the mechanical monsters who plan universal domination. On Earth
they would constantly be planning to 'exterminate' all humans. Nation
also created Survivors (1975) and Blake's 7 (1978) for the BBC.
