The family of Justin Richards are very touched by what people said about him this week. For those who wish to donate in his memory, they suggest Read for Good, a charity that works to get children reading, just as Justin strived to do with his writing. readforgood.enthuse.com/JustinRichar...

Friends, colleagues and family pay tribute to Justin Richards, who sadly passed away at the weekend: https://bgfn.sh/jrRIP

Sad to hear of Justin Richards' passing. Such a fantastic writer who helped keep the Dr Who flame alive during the Wilderness Years and beyond. In the EDA days, one always knew one was in for a great read when Justin's name was on the cover, and his scripts for Jago & Litefoot were incomparable. RIP
