Bibliogryphon 9,586 Posted July 17, 2015 One of my Theme Team picks the mighty Terrence Dicks is to be awarded a Lifetime acheivement award at the San Diego Comicon. He is not collecting it in person but does this mean I might be heading for some points. Oddly enough I hope not because my respect for his work is deep and longstanding. Yes, points gained on Uncle Terry would be a sad event for Who fans, the world over. Mind you, he's meant to still be in fairly robust health, maybe he just didn't fancy a trip to San Diego/was too busy? One of the reasons I put Terrance on my list was to keep him on the radar and to remind everyone how awesome he is. His writing style is deceptively simple but some of his later original novels have such joie de vivre and love of his subject they put some of the other series writers to shame. He has been an influence on many writers who have broken out through Doctor Who novels into the mainstream such as Paul Cornell, Ben Aaronovitch and Paul Magrs as well as new series writers such as Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffett. I think he deserves a knighthood if Moffett and RTD can get OBEs 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stay tuned for the answers to these riveting questions. I'd say he falls into the Uzzaman category, but at least with Uzzaman there's hope that he died in 2015 (for deadpoolers obviously). Anyhow, The Times have published an obituary which is as good as confirmation he's dead, personally I'd assume the worst and he's been dead a long time and won't gather points. http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/opinion/obituaries/article4513239.ece?CMP=Spklr-_-Editorial-_-TWITTER-_-TimesObits-_-20150730-_-216118445&linkId=15960975 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
