Victor Pemberton

Victor Pemberton is a British writer and television producer.

Victor Pemberton's scriptwriting work included BBC radio plays, and television scripts for the BBC and ITV, including "Doctor Who" (see below) and "The Adventures of Black Beauty".

His television production work included the British version of "Fraggle Rock" (second series onwards), and several independent documentaries including the 1989 International Emmy Award-winning "Gwen: A Juliet Remembered", about stage actress Gwen Ffrangcon-Davies.

In his earlier years Pemberton had several small screen acting roles. In addition to novelisations, he has written many nostalgic novels set in London, prompted by the success of his autobiographical radio drama series "Our Family".

Pemberton grew up in Islington, London, and lived for many years in Essex. He now lives in Spain, where he continues to write novels.

Doctor Who

Pemberton wrote the 1968 Patrick Troughton story "Fury from the Deep" (which he subsequently novelised for Target 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 actor Roger 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 the 1967 story "The Moonbase".
