===================

== January ==
* [[6 January (production)|6 January]] - [[Writer]] [[Moris Farhi]] submitted his script for ''[[The Fragile Yellow Arc of Fragrance (TV story)|The Fragile Yellow Arc of Fragrance]]'' to [[David Whitaker]] in an arranged meeting. [[24 January (production)|18 days later]], Whitaker rejected the script, finding it unsuitable for ''[[Doctor Who]]''.
* [[13 January (production)|13]]-[[17 January (production)|17 January]] - Pre-filming for ''[[Marco Polo (TV story)|Marco Polo]]'' took place at [[Ealing Studios]]. ([[TCH 2]])
* [[15 January (production)|15 January]] - "[[The Edge of Destruction (episode)|The Edge of Destruction]]" was recorded at [[Lime Grove Studios]]. ([[INFO]]: "The Edge of Destruction")

== February ==
* [[4 February (production)|4 February]] - [[Writer]] [[Robert Gould]]'s script for the future ''[[Planet of Giants (TV story)|Planet of Giants]]'' proceeded slowly. On this day, [[script editor]] [[David Whitaker]] released Gould from this premise, and requested a replacement story — which would also never reach the synopsis stage. ([[REF]]: ''[[Doctor Who The Handbook: The First Doctor|The First Doctor Handbook]]'')
* 4 February - On the same day, Robert Gould had a story conference with David Whitaker, in which he revealed his idea of plants being at the top of the [[evolution]]ary chain, and of "plants treat[ing] people as people treat plants." When his exact idea would be used in the script "[[The Screaming Jungle]]," Gould would press charges against Whitaker for plagiarising his work.
* [[7 February (production)|7 February]] - "[[The Singing Sands]]" was recorded at [[Lime Grove Studios]]. ([[TCH 2]])
* [[21 February (production)|21 February]] - "[[The Wall of Lies]]" was recorded at [[Lime Grove Studios]]. ([[TCH 2]])

* [[28 February (production)|28 February]] - "[[Rider from Shang-Tu]]" was recorded at [[Lime Grove Studios]]. ([[TCH 2]])

* [[26 March (production)|26 March]] - [[Script editor]] [[David Whitaker]] defended himself in a memo to [[Head of Serials]] [[Donald Wilson]] after [[Robert Gould]] accused him of stealing his idea in "[[The Screaming Jungle]]." In it, he flatly stated that [[writer]] [[Terry Nation]] had independently arrived at using vegetation in the third episode of ''[[The Keys of Marinus (TV story)|The Keys of Marinus]]'', and that Gould's vaguely-defined idea has itself been derivative, anyway. According to Whitaker, Gould's [[4 February (production)|4 February]] story conference had yielded no specifics about the potential storyline, and that Gould's notion of a planet where "plants treat people as people treat plants", had immediately reminded both him and [[Verity Lambert]] of ''[[The Day of the Triffids]]''.

The concern from on high? Even Adam's 3½-year-old granddaughter knew that it was "stupid" of the [[First Doctor]] and his [[companion]]s to separate in a dangerous situation, such as they did in [[The Temple of Evil|last Saturday's episode]]. Adam wanted the production team to "exercise more discipline" in the writing so that the programme's stars don't act like idiots. Otherwise, he feared that the programme's longevity will be at risk.
