{{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]]'') | |||

* | * 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]]. | |||
