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

I'm not sure if I've actually got anything, properly, against Harry himself (how would I feel about him with Three and the UNIT family? I wonder.) But something about his presence just torpedoes Sarah Jane's character and the Four'n'Sarah dynamic, so sorry, Harry: ya gots to go.

(I realize there are people who would say exactly the opposite: that the Four/Sarah/Harry dynamic is a highlight of season 12, but these people are welcome to make their own spreadsheet find their own friend who will let them hijack their perfectly nice spreadsheet.)

This just made me laugh out loud. <3

I was literally typing 'make their own spreadsheet' and then realized the certain hypocrisy of the statement . . .

Anyway, you're a good friend. Think I'll keep you.

Heh. Although it's a shared effort, so...

Feed meta regularly. Will produce fic and pretty imagery.
