He | '''Anthony Read''' (born [[21st April]] [[1935]]) was [[script editor]] on ''[[Doctor Who]]'' during part of the tenure of [[Graham Williams]] as [[producer]] in [[1978]]. He wrote the story ''[[The Horns of Nimon]]'' by himself and also collaborated with Williams on the script of ''[[The Invasion of Time]]'', under the shared pseudonym of [[David Agnew]], after the original script, involving an invasion of the [[Time Lord]] citadel by a race of [[Cat People]], proved unworkable. Together with [[Don Houghton]], he co-wrote the fifth ''Sapphire & Steel'' television story, known informally as ''Dr McDee Must Die''. In [[1979]], he contributed the scripts for the episodes ''Powers of Darkness'' and ''Out of Body, Out of Mind'' to the paranormal thriller series ''The Omega Factor''. | ||
In 2003 Read paid tribute to the late Williams by becoming involved in an unofficial audio adaptation of Williams' unproduced serial ''[[The Nightmare Fair]]''. Intended as a fund-raiser, the CD raised money for a charity called Sense which Read chose; Read also wrote a liner note paying tribute to Williams. | In 2003 Read paid tribute to the late Williams by becoming involved in an unofficial audio adaptation of Williams' unproduced serial ''[[The Nightmare Fair]]''.
