DWMSE 14 describes the provisional title as The 1920s. Should it be that instead?
Talk about it here.
When first commissioned, the eleventh episode of Doctor Who's second series was originally based on a script written by Stephen Fry. (DWM 360)
Believing the script to be too expensive for this slot, however, Russell T Davies decided that it would be held over to series 3, and require further rewrites. The script was replaced with Fear Her, a separate commission to Fry's script. Fry's script was never made as Fry could not find the time to make the necessary alterations. (DWMSE 14)
According to Fry in an interview with Bob Tyrer, the episode would revolve around the "legend of [Sir] Gawain and the Green Knight, one of the Sub-Arthurian legends". [1] In an interview with Scotland Today, Fry claimed that said "well-known British legend" would ultimately have had alien origins and had a scene written where the TARDIS landed on a "strange planet".
