Graham Williams

rdfs:comment

As a result, his era rarely gets much respect from those raised on the classic 70's fare or the zany 80's bullshit, nor from those raised on the modern series, which is inspired largely by everything outside of Williams's era. In fact, the only person still writing like Graham Williams is approving scripts is Gareth Roberts, the only person on the production with a name nearly as British as his own. Graham Williams was producer of Doctor Who from seasons 15 through 17. He had previously worked as a script editor on The View from Daniel Pike as well as police series Barlow at Large and Z-Cars. His tenure on Doctor Who was one of the most troubled in the series' history. He was under orders from BBC management to reduce the levels of horror and violence that had become controversial under his predecessor, Philip Hinchcliffe, as well as having to cope with budget cuts, industrial action and a difficult relationship with Tom Baker in the lead role.

Graham Williams was producer of Doctor Who from seasons 15 through 17. He had previously worked as a script editor on The View from Daniel Pike as well as police series Barlow at Large and Z-Cars. His tenure on Doctor Who was one of the most troubled in the series' history. He was under orders from BBC management to reduce the levels of horror and violence that had become controversial under his predecessor, Philip Hinchcliffe, as well as having to cope with budget cuts, industrial action and a difficult relationship with Tom Baker in the lead role. Despite the problems behind the scenes of the series at this time, Williams' era produced several popular additions to the Doctor Who legend, including the introduction of a robot dog as a companion, K9, the introduction of the Black and White Guardians in the Key to Time story arc and the introduction of the Doctor's Time Lady companion, Romana I. Williams' tenure was also notable for the gradual introduction of more humour into the series, in particular the introduction of Douglas Adams as first a writer (The Pirate Planet) and then the script editor for the whole of season 17. Due to a strike, Williams never completed the last story of season 17, Shada. Under the pseudonym "David Agnew", he co-wrote City of Death and The Invasion of Time and wrote the script and novelisation to The Nightmare Fair, which was intended to open season 23 before that season was sustantially re-structured after Doctor Who went on hiatus. It was lated adapted as an audio story by Big Finish Productions. As a result, his era rarely gets much respect from those raised on the classic 70's fare or the zany 80's bullshit, nor from those raised on the modern series, which is inspired largely by everything outside of Williams's era. In fact, the only person still writing like Graham Williams is approving scripts is Gareth Roberts, the only person on the production with a name nearly as British as his own.
