Dave Martin (born on 1 January, 1935 in Birmingham, England) was an accomplished television and film writer.
He contributed numerous scripts for the Doctor Who television series between 1971 and 1979 including:
- The Claws of Axos (1971)
- The Mutants (1972)
- The Three Doctors (1973)
- The Sontaran Experiment (1975)
- The Hand of Fear (1976)
- The Invisible Enemy (1977)
- Underworld (1978)
- The Armageddon Factor (1979)
For all of these, Martin collaborated with Bob Baker. Together they were nicknamed "The Bristol Boys" by the Doctor Who production teams with whom they worked.
Baker and Martin's most notable contributions to the Doctor Who mythos were probably the robot computer K-9 (created for The Invisible Enemy) and the renegade Time Lord Omega (created for The Three Doctors, Doctor Who's tenth anniversary story).
They also worked together on the 1975 children's science fantasy television serials Sky and Into the Labirynth.
Martin died on 30 March, 2007. He had been diagnosed with lung cancer earlier in the year.
