David Agnew was a pseudonym employed by Graham Williams and others. The BBC in the late 1970's took a dim view as to Producers and Script Editors commissioning themselves, so when the occasion did arise, then-Doctor Who Producer Williams disguised his actual authorship.

  • Anthony Read, (the Script Editor, at that time) collaborated with Graham Williams on the scripts for The Invasion of Time, written at the last minute to replace a script by David Weir which would have proved too expensive to film.
  • The same team of Douglas Adams and Graham Williams on Shada.

As a joke, the short story Special Occasions: 4. Playing with Toys in Short Trips and Side Steps]] also had the pseudonym David Agnew.
