Terrance Dicks (born 14 April 1935) is an English writer and former script editor, best known for his work in television and as the author of many popular children's books during the 1970s and 1980s.
His best known association during his television career was with Doctor Who, working as a writer and - from 1968 to 1974 - the programme's script editor. He also adapted many of the televised stories into novelisations for Target Books.
His break-through into television came when friend Malcolm Hulke asked for his help with the scripting of an episode of the ABC action-adventure series The Avengers, for which Dicks was awarded a co-writer's credit.
James (Jacobus) J. Dickson (1738–1822) was a Scottish nurseryman, plant collector, botanist and mycologist. Between 1785 and 1801 he published his Fasciculus plantarum cryptogamicarum Britanniae, a four-volume work in which he published over 400 species of algae and fungi that occur in the British Isles He is also the author of Collection of Dried Plants, Named on the Authority of the Linnaean Herbarium and Other Original Collections. The plant genus Dicksonia is named after him.
Life
He was born at Kirke House, Traquair, Peeblesshire, of poor parents, and began life in the gardens of the Earl of Traquair. While still young he went to Jeffery's nursery-garden at Brompton, and in 1772 started in business for himself in Covent Garden.
Dickson made several tours in the Scottish Highlands in search of plants between 1785 and 1791, that of 1789 being in company with Mungo Park, whose sister became his second wife.
Dickson in 1788 became one of the original members of the Linnean Society, and in 1804 was one of the eight original members and a vice-president of the Horticultural Society. He died at Broad Green, Croydon, Surrey, on 14 August 1822, his wife, a son, and two daughters surviving him. His portrait by Henry Perronet Briggs (1820) was lithographed.
Dicks is an album by the British electronica group, Fila Brazillia, released on Twentythree Records in 2004.
The album title 'Dicks' refers to the French word for '10': Dix. This is Fila's Brazillia's 10th album in as many years. Dicks is filled with 23 b-sides from the Phoebus Brumal sessions.
