I didn’t enjoy the environment and culture that we, the cast and crew, had to work in. I wasn’t comfortable. I thought, “If I’d stay in this job, I’m going to have to bind myself to certain things that I thought were wrong.” And I think it’s more important to be your own man than be successful, so I left. But the most important thing is that I did it, not that I left. I really feel that, because it kind of broke the mould and it helped to reinvent it. I’m very proud of it.”

Notes

  • Besides giving cast and broadcast details for broadcast material on both TV and radio the Radio Times is also significant in terms of Doctor Who for including related articles and features. The number of cover issues reflects its popularity and standing with the BBC and has never been stronger since the new Who launch in 2005, with the series on a few occasions featured multiple times over the course of only a few weeks (for example near the end of 2009).
  • No other television series have had more covers than Doctor Who.
  • Doctor Who covers are the most collectable Radio Times covers.
  • Each of Jon Pertwee's seasons as the Third Doctor were heralded by a Radio Times cover.
  • Tom Baker never had a Radio Times cover during his era, although he did later appear on a retrospective cover.


Radio Times'Covers Party

Radio Times holds its own annual Radio Times Covers Party, a prestigous event where cover stars are awarded framed covers, since the 2005 relaunch the Doctor Who team have been the recipients of more covers than any other series on TV.
