Classic Who Showrunners

[elisi]

So, my head is full of Good Omens (which is why I've not been around much - well, that and the fact that life has been BUSY), but as I am still slowly making my way through Classic Who (Four is endless and forever) I have been trying to work out an easy way of remembering the different eras. The problem is that people throw names around (JNT, Hinchcliff, Holmes, Terrance Dicks) much the same way we go on about RTD or Moffat, but what the names signify is not as straightforward. So - I made a spreadsheet! :D (I love spreadsheets when it comes to organising stuff.) And then I asked the other half of my brain to help with the earlier years and to make the 'Tone' column a bit better, and so - ta daa - here you go. For anyone who wants a simple guide, from elisi and promethia_tenk:



Annoyingly it's not as big as it should be (on DW, on LJ it looks fine), but if you click on the little magnifying glass (or download i, it should be A4 again. :)





And now back to my ineffable husbands. <3

That's brilliant. Loving the summaries of the Seventh Doctor era, especially. Also, "cuddly, but with monsters" - ha, no wonder the Two era is the era of my heart.

Yay! I was hoping people would like it. And the descriptions are ALL Promethia, who is a genius. (Also I haven't watched One - Three yet, except the odd episode, so can't make informed declarations.)
