From a production standpoint, it marked a significant sea change in the history of ''Doctor Who''. Like only ''[[The War Games]]'' before it, ''The End of Time'' ushered in a complete change of regular cast. Unlike that [[1960s]] story, however, it was also the final story for [[executive producer|its principal producers]], [[Russell T Davies]] and [[Julie Gardner]], and was the last regular story for its [[head writer]], Davies. It was also the first to include any part overseen by — if not credited to — incoming lead writer and executive producer, [[Steven Moffat]]. Though [[Tracie Simpson]] was the credited line [[producer]], her elevation to regular line producer on [[Series 5 (Doctor Who)|the first Matt Smith series]] meant that Julie Gardner effectively became the line [[producer]] for the first and only time in her tenure on ''Doctor Who.''
