In the [[1963]] version of ''[[Doctor Who]]'', executive producers were largely not credited, because the [[Head of Serials]] (or the Head of Series and Serials) was the un-credited executive producer of not only ''Doctor Who'', but all programmes in the department. The only year for which this wasn't true was [[season 18]]. In this case, the incoming Head of Serials asked [[Barry Letts]] to do his 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]]'', executive producers were largely not credited, because the [[Head of Serials]] (or the Head of Series and Serials) was the un-credited executive producer of not only ''Doctor Who'', but all programmes in the department.
