abstract
  • Eden was a notoriously difficult production, with cast and crew alike openly disagreeing with director Alan Bromly. In the end, producer Graham Williams dismissed Bromly partway through the shoot and finished the programme himself; it was this incident which convinced Williams to leave the show at the end of Season 17. Even though it was a disagreeable shoot, Eden did boast a few production peculiarities of note. It was the only serial ever written by Bob Baker without his usual writing partner, Dave Martin. It was also, according to Colin Mapson, the first Doctor Who serial in which the model effects were recorded on video, instead of film. (DCOM: Nightmare of Eden) Although Mapson was not enamoured of the results, Graham Williams extolled their virtues in at least one memo to this superiors. Video was very much cheaper than film, and Williams found the compromise between quality and cost acceptable. (DOC: The Nightmare of TV Centre) Nevertheless, the technique did not prove popular with Williams' successor. Most model shots in future serials would again be committed to film.
