In the [[BBC Wales]]<!-- should this be reworded to account for how the 'Series' era of Who is now more than just BBC Wales? --> era of the show, the most well-known production presence was [[Russell T Davies]], who revived ''Doctor Who'' with ''[[Series 1 (Doctor Who)|Series 1]]'' and continued to act as showrunner until ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]''. Before reviving ''Doctor Who'', Davies wrote the [[Virgin New Adventures]] novel ''[[Damaged Goods (novel)|Damaged Goods]]'', which touched upon several LGBT themes. His tenure as showrunner saw him bring LGBT representation into televised ''Who'' for the first time, beginning with the introduction of the TV show's first openly queer character during the first series - Jack Harkness, played by the openly gay [[John Barrowman]]. | In the [[BBC Wales]]<!-- should this be reworded to account for how the 'Series' era of Who is now more than just BBC Wales? --> era of the show, the most well-known production presence was [[Russell T Davies]], who revived ''Doctor Who'' with ''[[Series 1 (Doctor Who)|Series 1]]'' and continued to act as showrunner until ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]''.
