Eric Pringle (4 May 1935-13 April 2017[1]) wrote the Doctor Who television story The Awakening and its novelisation. Although it has been claimed that Pringle took the ideas of a sealed-off village and the church exploding from The Dæmons, according to him this is entirely coincidental; he had never even seen that particular story.
He also contributed to the 30th anniversary with the book Drabble Who.
