From June 1986: more from the tumultuous time in WHO's history... issue 35 of DOCTOR WHO BULLETIN.
The death of Robert Holmes not only deprived the show of one of its most highly regarded writers (although his recent track record had been more shaky) but also proved to be the final straw for script editor Eric Saward (who, as previously noted, bailed in spectacular fashion shortly thereafter).
And no surprise that Michael Grade would accept a BBC ENTERPRISES bankrolled trip to the States for a bit of promotional work... and no doubt some sightseeing as well.
Did you see the letter from Chris Chibnall on p3 saying the attacks on JNT were playing into Michael Grade's hands.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see that letter. Lets hope slow can put up scans of this and other inside pages from DWB.
