Doctor Who fans will best remember Robert for writing two adventures for Tom Baker’s Fourth Doctor back in the 1970s. ‘Terror of the Zygons’ introduced the shapeshifting Zygons, a popular foe who recently returned in the 50th Anniversary Special, ‘The Day of the Doctor’, as well as a two-part adventure for Series 9, last year.

‘The Seeds of Doom’, the second of his two classic stories, is a six-parter full of energy, wit, terrific dialogue and superb characters. The Krynoids - the menacing aliens of the story - have only ever appeared in this one, single story. However, they remain one of the best-loved monsters from the early years of the show.
