Doctor Who/Trivia: Difference between revisions

** "Warriors of the Deep". The production schedule lost two weeks due to an early Parliamentary election, which explains many of the serial's shortcomings. The other shortcomings stem from the set designer, who wanted everything brightly lit to show off his work, and the director, who wanted everything dark and moody for atmosphere, preceding a similar situation on ''[[Aliens]]'' by two years.

** After the location filming for "The Greatest Show in the Galaxy" had been completed, the studio sessions were cancelled because of asbestos contamination. At first it was thought that the serial would have to be abandoned, but eventually it was found possible to erect a tent in the car park at Elstree Studios and film there. (It was actually very fortuitous that they were working on that particular serial because the tents made this arrangement possible. With any other serial around that time they might have had to simply throw out the location footage, but John Nathan-Turner was desperate to avoid another "Shada" debacle and arranged the makeshift solution.)

* [[What Could Have Been]]:

** The Canadian animation studio Nelvana at one point proposed a ''Doctor Who'' animated series, which never got beyond the concept art stage.
