Talk:Terry Nation

message: I really don't like "Although often derided by modern critics as an overly simplistic and repetitive writer who got lucky with a BBC staff designer's vision for the monster in The Daleks, Nation was an incredibly versatile scriptwriter who wrote for many different kinds of shows with great success."
modern critics - examples ? why "modern" - as opposed to critics at the time, or what ?
incredibly versatile - support for that ? many different kinds - apart from Hancock, the rest of the shows mentioned were all written by a similar pool of writers.  
Surely more important is his ability to create a show like Blakes 7 that gained a long lasting fandom.

message: One of the references cited is: "Tarrant, Graham. Obituary: Terry Nation. "The Independent". Thursday March 13 1997 (page 18)".  Is this a genuine reference?  Given how often characters with the name crop up in his work and given that the name is a partial-anagram of Terry Nation, it seems a very bizarre coincidence that an obituary of Terry Nation be written by someone called Tarrant!

replies: text: I thought so too when I found and added it! But that's certainly the name that appears on the byline. Sorry there's no online link. Angmering 21:25, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Query about reference

message: The date for Rebecca's World is given as 1978, but my copy is earlier (Beaver Books, 1976) and cites first publication by G. Whizzard Publications / André Deutsch in 1975.  I don't have an ISBN for the first edition, so I haven't edited the page.

thread_title:  Bibliography accuracy 

message: Nation is credited as co-author of the earliest Dr Who print publication in ISFDB, catalogued there as June 1964.  (The Daleks story was also the first to be published as a novel, we say at The Daleks#In print and give date 22 November 1964.) 
Source: , which I searched by date and found '1963' in titles only and '1964' as date for these two publications only. --P64 (talk) 20:06, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dr Who print debut 

message: The only mention of his wife is in the sidebar, likewise his daughter. Could someone add information about when he married, when his daughter was born, anything at all of a personal nature?
Just a thought :) -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 06:59, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
