-In the 1963 version of ''[[Doctor Who]]'', executive producers were largely uncredited, because the [[Head of Serials]] (or the Head of Series and Serials) was the uncredited executive producer of not only ''Doctor Who'', but all programmes in the department. The only exception was [[season 18]]. For that year, the incoming Head of Serials asked [[Barry Letts]] to do the job for him on ''Doctor Who'' and oversee [[John Nathan-Turner]]'s first year as [[producer]]. ([[REF]]: ''[[The Fourth Doctor Handbook]]'') Hence, for that year only, an executive producer was credited on BBC-produced ''Doctor Who''.
+In the 1963 version of ''[[Doctor Who]]'', the executive producer credit was nonstandard, given that the [[Head of Serials]] (or later [[Head of Series and Serials]]) functioned as uncredited executive producer of not only ''Doctor Who'', but all programmes in the department. The only exception was during [[season 18]]; at the time, the incoming Head asked [[Barry Letts]] to do the job for him on ''Doctor Who'' and oversee [[John Nathan-Turner]]'s first year as [[producer]]. ([[REF]]: ''[[The Fourth Doctor Handbook]]'') Hence, for that year only, an executive producer was credited on BBC-produced ''Doctor Who''.
 Since [[Doctor Who (TV story)|the 1996 tele-film]], executive producers have been routinely credited on all [[Doctor Who universe|DWU]] episodes. There have always been ''multiple'' executive producers on each episode of ''[[Doctor Who]]'', ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]'', ''[[Torchwood (TV series)|Torchwood]]'', ''[[Class (TV series)|Class]]'', and ''[[K9 (TV series)|K9]]'' — except for the official BBC parody, ''[[The Curse of Fatal Death]]''.
