"Sydney Wilson" is a fictitious credit (combining the names of show creator Sydney Newman and BBC Head of Serials Donald Wilson), used to conceal the fact that Koquillion was actually the character Bennett (played by Ray Barratt) in disguise. This story twist was not revealed until the climax of the following episode, at the end of which Barratt was credited with playing both roles.
