+{{you may|Terrance Dicks|n1= the real individual}}'''Terrance Dicks''' was an [[author]].
+He wrote [[150 (number)|one-hundred and fifty]] [[Target Books (Bafflement and Devotion)|novelisations]], and were once all owned by [[Paul Magrs (Bafflement and Devotion)|Paul Magrs]].
+One of these novelisations heavily contradicted another novelisation, "[[Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks|''Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks'']]", at least by the [[Eighth Doctor]]'s viewpoint. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Bafflement and Devotion (short story)|Bafflement and Devotion]]'') After a [[Doctor Who fan (U.N.I.T. On Call)|''Doctor Who'' fan]] managed to contact [[1970s]] [[UNIT]] and discussed [[2020]] with the [[Third Doctor]], [[Jo Grant]] and [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|the Brigadier]], Terrance Dicks, also on the UNIT line, complimented the Doctor, Jo and the Brigadier's wise words and then called for a round of [[tea]]. ([[WC]]: ''[[U.N.I.T. On Call (webcast)|U.N.I.T. On Call]]'')
+There was once a "[[Terrance Dicks Library]]" located in [[St Luke's University]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Lost Dimension (comic story)|The Lost Dimension]]'')
 == Behind the scenes ==
-* This caller was voiced by [[Jon Culshaw]] in his regular voice. Although the dialogue is ambiguous, one possible interpretation of the webcast is that the fan had in fact merely reached Culshaw and that he had been impersonating the Doctor and Lethbridge-Stewart (and possibly Manning).
+* The "novelisations" that Terrance wrote are clearly intended to be [[Target novelisation]]s, however this isn't explicitly stated in [[Bafflement and Devotion (short story)|''Bafflement and Devotion'']]. In the real world, Dicks was credited on 38 of the around 150 original titles, still far more than any other writer in the range.
+* Dicks made a vocal cameo in [[WC]]: ''[[U.N.I.T. On Call (webcast)|U.N.I.T. On Call]]'', voiced by [[Jon Culshaw]].
