George F. Kerr


George F. Kerr was an English writer best known for his work in TV. He worked for eight years in British TV as a writer and script editor.
He moved to Australia in 1957 and wrote several early TV dramas as well as stage and radio plays. He returned to England in the mid 1960s.
He was a POW during World War II.
In 1955 when Kerr was a script editor for Associated Television he wrote that "a successful television play should have a strong contemporary story plus a subplot, preferably of emotional entanglement. The story should be classifiable as a study of the peoples next door or, if the troubles are slightly unsavoury, of the people next door but one."

''Doctor Who''

In April 1966, Kerr was asked from the production office at BBC to work on some stories for Doctor Who on Season 4 of the program. These stories Kerr submitted have no explanation details, and were both rejected by story editor Gerry Davis on 15 June 1966. These stories were entitled as:
The Hearsay Machine
The Heavy Scent of Violence
The Man from the Met
These story titles are all that remain.
