Pemberton wrote the 1968 Patrick Troughton story "
Fury from the Deep " (which he subsequently novelised forTarget Books ). The story, now missing from the BBC archives, was based on an earlier stand-alone radio serial he had written called "The Slide", starring future Master actorRoger Delgado . He was also story editor of season five opener "The Tomb of the Cybermen ".In
1976 Pemberton wrote the audio drama "Doctor Who and the Pescatons " for an experiment in "Doctor Who" on vinyl record and an early spin-off from the programme. The production was aimed at children and is something of a curiosity, heavily based on ideas Pemberton had used for Fury. He later novelised "The Pescatons", which has the distinction of being the final "Doctor Who" book published under the Target imprint. He had previously appeared as an actor in the series, in a non-speaking role as a scientist in the1967 story "The Moonbase ".External links
