| - Brian Finch (25th July, 1936 - 27th June, 2007) was a BAFTA award-winning television screenwriter who penned 149 episodes of Coronation Street between January 1970 and July 1978 and a second stint in the role between January 1987 and January 1989, two of the episodes being co-written with Susan Pleat and Leslie Duxbury. Prior to beginning work as a script-writer on the programme, he was a regular contributor to TV Times with many articles on Coronation Street being credited to him in the 1960s.
- Outside Doctor Who, he wrote one hundred and fifty episodes of Coronation Street, and received a BAFTA for writing the ITV drama Goodnight, Mister Tom. He was also a freelancer on Robert Banks Stewart's Bergerac and wrote several episodes of All Creatures Great and Small, most of them in series 1. He therefore played a part in making Peter Davison a household name. His All Creatures work also included the memorable 1983 Christmas special, which returned the main characters to their veterinary practice after having fought in World War II.

He was also a freelancer on Robert Banks Stewart's Bergerac and wrote several episodes of All Creatures Great and Small, most of them in series 1.

His All Creatures work also included the memorable 1983 Christmas special, which returned the main characters to their veterinary practice after having fought in World War II. He died in June 2007, after a very short retirement from being one of the main writers of Heartbeat. At the time of his death, his failed contribution to Doctor Who was largely unknown by the fan community and The Lost Stories range hadn't even been proposed by Big Finish. He is thus the rare example of a writer who only made a posthumous contribution to the body of published Doctor Who fiction.
