- Chris was the script editor, but Terry Nation (remeber him? the guy
who's
copping all the 'Deliverance' flak)
And on the subject of both, I've just rediscovered an interview with Chris B in connection with his DW story Image of the Fendahl, in which he talks about a short story he once read that evidently made a big impact on him. It's about a society which, after achieving scientific and technical expertise, built this spaceship. Whereupon an alien, who had set the whole thing in motion in the first place, popped up out of hibernation, climbed in the ship and flew away. The population then collapsed into barbarism and reverted to a primitive lifeform-- rats, as he recalled.
Wonder if the two of them talked literature much?
