* “Producer [[Barry Letts]] and Script Editor [[Terrance Dicks]] are the only full-time members of the Dr Who team. Says Letts: “Dr Who's success is that it doesn't have a formula – it's flexible. The Doctor's appeal is that he's a superman – and yet he's fallible. Supermen are always interesting, but they're that that much more interesting if they're a bit human too. And we try and make everything that happens scientifically plausible – like monsters landing in London – and interpret it as logically and realistically as possible. The Doctor is a good strongly moral man, who always searches for peaceful solutions.” | * “Producer [[Barry Letts]] and Script Editor [[Terrance Dicks]] are the only full-time members of the Dr Who team.

* In late 1973 the outgoing production team of producer Barry Letts and script editor Terrance Dicks encouraged Nation to explore the beginnings of the Daleks in a new storyline. Nation had contributed a Dalek serial to each of the previous two seasons — ''[[Planet of the Daleks (TV story)|Planet of the Daleks]]'' and ''[[Death to the Daleks (TV story)|Death to the Daleks]]'' — but his initial effort for season twelve had been rejected as too derivative of his earlier works. Starting anew with Letts' and Dicks' suggested approach, Nation crafted a new storyline called ''[[Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)|Genesis of the Daleks]]'', produced by [[Philip Hinchcliffe]] and script edited by [[Robert Holmes]], which veered away from the ''[[TV Century 21]]'' and ''Radio Times'' versions of the Daleks' origins, and contradicted Nation's own history of the planet mentioned on-screen in ''[[The Daleks (TV story)|The Daleks]]'', too. | * In late 1973 the outgoing production team of producer Barry Letts and script editor Terrance Dicks encouraged Nation to explore the beginnings of the Daleks in a new storyline.
