BiographyRobert Colin Holmes (2 April 1926 – 24 May 1986) was a British television scriptwriter. For over 25 years, he contributed to some of the most popular programmes screened in the UK. He is particularly remembered for his work on science fiction programmes, most notably his extensive contributions to Doctor Who, which included working as its script editor from 1974 to 1977.

Holmes suffered ill health from the early 1980s. He died in May 1986 while working on scripts for the second and final Sixth Doctor season The Trial of a Time Lord; his last serial as sole writer, The Mysterious Planet, and The Ultimate Foe, of which he only wrote the first part (the second being completed by Pip and Jane Baker), were released posthumously between September and December 1986.
