Ben Aaronovitch's first work for television was the
Doctor Who (1963) story,
"Remembrance of the Daleks". He had been put in touch with
Andrew Cartmel by a
BBC script editor,
Caroline Oulton, and he produced a story idea called
"Nightfall" on spec before being commissioned for the Dalek story.
Aaronovitch also scripted "Battlefield" for the twenty-sixth season of
Doctor Who (1963). Aaronovitch has gone on to write for
Casualty (1986) and also wrote,
with Cartmel, an initial script for the 1989
Doctor Who (1963) stage play, "The
Ultimate Adventure". More recently he scripted thirteen episodes of the
BSB series
Jupiter Moon (1990) and has written several novels in Virgin
Publishing's "Doctor Who: The New Adventures" range.
