Episodes Broadcast: 1966

Little is known of the life of Lesley Scott. In the mid-Sixties, she was either the wife or the lover of writer Paul Erickson. For reasons that Erickson subsequently refused to divulge, he asked that Scott be credited as the co-writer of his 1966 Doctor Who serial, The Ark, even though it seems certain that she did not contribute to the scripts. As such, she became the first woman to receive a writing credit on Doctor Who. Scott has no other known contributions to television or film.
