After the success of ''The Five Doctors'', [[John Nathan-Turner|Nathan-Turner]] was keen to do another multi-Doctor story. He quickly secured Troughton as the returning incarnation. It was suggested the story be set in [[New Orleans]], but Holmes found it to have little merit as a setting and the idea was quashed when funding was pulled. [[Venice]] was chosen by Nathan-Turner, but this was too expensive, leaving them with [[Seville]], a [[Spanish]] town. Holmes reluctantly agreed to a rewrite, disappointed he would have to cut his jokes about the differences between [[Great Britain|British]] and [[United States of America|American]] [[English language|English]]. As a [[vegetarian]], Holmes wrote ''The Two Doctors'' as an allegory of meat-eating, hunting and butchering. | After the success of ''The Five Doctors'', [[John Nathan-Turner|Nathan-Turner]] was keen to do another multi-Doctor story.
