Robert Holmes remembered his stewardship of the Pertwee era for its cognizance of the power of Mary Whitehouse's organisation. Indeed, others confirmed that Marsh tended to intervene in production when he thought the show was getting close to "dangerous ground". For instance, he made the costly step of reversing a casting decision on Colony in Space, because he thought having Susan Jameson in the role of Morgan might have sexual overtones.

And plans to kill off all the Thals in Planet of the Daleks were nixed for fear of Marsh's reaction.
