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]]'', 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.

Since [[Doctor Who (1996)|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]]'', and ''[[K9 (TV series)|K9]]'' — except for the official BBC parody, ''[[The Curse of Fatal Death]]''. | Since [[Doctor Who (1996)|the 1996 tele-film]], executive producers have been routinely credited on all [[Doctor Who universe|DWU]] episodes.

Different executive producers have traditionally had different production emphases. [[Russell T Davies]] and [[Steven Moffat]], for instance, have been [[head writer|primarily focussed on the writing]], though they have had the authority to make decisions on any production matter they chose. [[Julie Gardner]] and [[Piers Wenger]] have held an executive producer credit largely because they held a senior position at BBC Wales. In this way, they weren't too different from the un-credited executive producers of the past, like [[Shaun Sutton]]. | Different executive producers have traditionally had different production emphases.
