Malcolm Hulke (21 November 1924 – 6 July 1979) was a British television writer and author of the industry "bible" ''Writing for Television in the 70s''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A Beginner's Guide to Book Collecting )〕 He is remembered chiefly for his work on the science fiction series ''Doctor Who'' although he contributed to many popular television series of the era. ==Career== His first major television work was a series of early 1960s children's science fiction serials – ''Target Luna'', ''Pathfinders in Space'', ''Pathfinders to Mars'', and ''Pathfinders to Venus'' – which he co-wrote with Eric Paice for the British ABC television company. The producer of the series was Sydney Newman, who was later responsible for the creation of ''Doctor Who'' as Head of Drama at BBC Television. His first produced script for ''Doctor Who'' was in 1967, though he had submitted proposals earlier.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Malcolm Hulke )〕 In addition to the ''Pathfinders'' series〔 and ''Doctor Who'', Hulke contributed scripts to ''The Avengers'',〔 ''The Protectors'', ''Danger Man'',〔http://danger-man.co.uk/episodeDetails.asp?episodeID=61&seriesNo=2〕 ''Crossroads'', football soap ''United!'' and ''Gideon's Way''.〔http://ctva.biz/UK/ITC/GideonsWay.htm〕 His scripts for ''Doctor Who'' were known for avoiding black-and-white characterisation and simplistic plotting. Military figures are usually presented unfavourably – ''Invasion of the Dinosaurs'' and ''The Ambassadors of Death'' both have a general as the ultimate villain. One of his best-known contributions to the series is ''Doctor Who and the Silurians''. This story depicts an encounter between the human race and the remnants of a technological reptilian race that ruled Earth in prehistoric times. Hulke avoids casting either side as heroes or monsters. He also contributed to Target Books' range of Doctor Who novelisations, adapting many of his scripts before his death, as well as 1973's ''The Green Death''. Hulke's novelisations were noted for providing a wealth of additional background detail and character depth. He was a friend and mentor to Terrance Dicks, with whom he collaborated in 1962 on ''The Avengers'' episode "The Mauritius Penny", which was Dicks' first television credit; ''The War Games'', Dicks' first ''Doctor Who'' script, and on the non-fiction book ''The Making of Doctor Who''. He was a member of the Communist Party of Great Britain,〔Ben Aaronovitch (''Remembrance of the Daleks'' ), London: WH Allen, 1990 (), p.iv〕 but may have later resigned, possibly after the suppression of the Hungarian Revolution in 1956.〔Michael Herbert (''Dr Who and the Communist: the politics and work of Malcolm Hulke'' ), Lipstick socialist〕 His politics remained firmly on the left, and was reflected in his writings.〔Michael Herbert (''Dr Who and the Communist: the politics and work of Malcolm Hulke'' ), Lipstick Socialist〕 In January 2015 Five Leaves Press published a short study of his work ''Doctor Who and the Communist: Malcolm Hulke and his career in television'', written by Michael Herbert. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Malcolm Hulke」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
