'''Victor Pemberton''' wrote several ''[[Doctor Who]]'' stories, acted as [[script editor]] for ''[[The Tomb of the Cybermen]]'', novelised several of his own scripts and appeared in a minor acting role as [[Jules Faure]] in ''[[The Moonbase]]''.
'''Victor Pemberton''' ([[10 October (people)|10 October]] [[1931 (people)|1931]]-[[13 August (people)|13 August]] [[2017 (people)|2017]]<ref>[http://guide.doctorwhonews.net/person.php?name=VictorPemberton Doctor Who Guide]</ref>) wrote the ''[[Doctor Who (TV series)|Doctor Who]]'' television story ''[[Fury from the Deep (TV story)|Fury from the Deep]]'' and the audio drama ''[[Doctor Who and the Pescatons (audio story)|Doctor Who and the Pescatons]]'' (as well as their respective novelisations), acted as [[script editor]] from ''[[The Evil of the Daleks (TV story)|The Evil of the Daleks]]'' to ''[[The Ice Warriors (TV story)|The Ice Warriors]]'' but was only credited on ''[[The Tomb of the Cybermen (TV story)|The Tomb of the Cybermen]]'', and appeared in a minor acting role as [[Jules Faure]] in ''[[The Moonbase (TV story)|The Moonbase]]''. Along with [[Glyn Jones]], [[Toby Whithouse]] and [[Mark Gatiss]], he is one of a handful of people to have both written and acted in TV ''Doctor Who''.


He was in a relationship for many years with actor [[David Spenser]] until David sadly died in 2013.
As ''Fury from the Deep'' is missing all its episodes, Pemberton is the only writer (excluding [[Elwyn Jones]]) to not have a single surviving ''Doctor Who'' episode in the [[BBC Archives]].
 
He is often credited as the one who created [[the Doctor's sonic screwdriver]] although it was production assistant [[Michael Briant]] who suggested to change the Doctor's normal screwdriver into a "sonic" one on location.<ref>[[DWM 277]]{{which}}</ref>

He was in a relationship for many years with actor [[David Spenser]], his life partner, until Spenser passed away in 2013.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2013/aug/01/david-spenser</ref> Both were acknowledged in a posthumous tribute by [[Gary Russell]] in the form a visual easter egg in the ''Fury from the Deep'', where a clipboard contains a note that says "Get Vic and Dave on this!".<ref>https://twitter.com/twilightstreets/status/1306013108817756161?s=20&t=cgMicvyW8-YGo-c17lv8Fg</ref>
