Episodes Broadcast: 1985

Paula Woolsey was a writer and teacher, whose studies of seventeenth-century London architecture helped inspire ex-boyfriend Eric Saward's 1982 Doctor Who serial The Visitation. Having become Doctor Who's script editor, Saward commissioned Woolsey to write the 1985 adventure Attack Of The Cybermen, featuring Colin Baker as the Sixth Doctor. Accounts vary as to whether Woolsey took an active hand in its development, or was merely a figurehead to deceive producer John Nathan-Turner about the fact that Saward and continuity adviser Ian Levine were really responsible for the narrative. The pseudonym “Paula Moore” was applied to the serial as broadcast. Woolsey later submitted two further story ideas for Doctor Who, but neither was pursued. Attack Of The Cybermen would remain her only broadcast television script.
