Overview

Derrick George Sherwin (16 April 1936 – 17 October 2018) was an English television producer, writer, story editor and actor.

He became the story editor on Doctor Who and, as the producer of the series in 1969, he oversaw the transition from black-and-white to colour by producing Patrick Troughton's final story and Jon Pertwee's first. He also co-produced Paul Temple for the BBC.
