This proved a huge hit with audiences at the time, but also courted controversy from some who felt that the programme had become to scary for children, most infamously MoralGuardian Mary Whitehouse, whose complaints eventually led to Hinchcliffe being moved away from Doctor Who by the BBC. His replacement, Creator/GrahamWilliams, was ordered to take the show in a LighterAndSofter direction. He would later contribute to the ''AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho'' audio dramas, writing "The Ghosts of Gralstead" and "The Devil's Armada" (which were then further adapted by Creator/MarcPlatt) in the anthology set ''Philip Hinchcliffe Presents''.

Philip Michael Hinchcliffe (born 1 October 1944) is a British television producer, screenwriter and script editor, best known for producing Series/DoctorWho for three seasons from 1975 to 1977. His tenure is often held up by fandom as one of, if not ''the'' greatest period in the show's history; alongside script editor Creator/RobertHolmes, he sought to take the show in a DarkerAndEdgier "gothic horror" direction, taking inspiration from classic horror movies. This proved a huge hit with audiences at the time, but also courted controversy from some who felt that the programme had become to scary for children, most infamously moral guardian Mary Whitehouse, whose complaints eventually led to Hinchcliffe being moved away from Doctor Who by the BBC. Subsequent presenting credits include the police drame ''Target'', the UsefulNotes/WorldWarII era comedy drama ''Series/PrivateSchulz'' and the period drama ''TheCharmer''.

* BloodierAndGorier / DarkerAndEdgier: Along with script editor Creator/RobertHolmes, he was responsible for Doctor Who's "gothic horror" period in the mid-Seventies, and really tested the limits of what they could get away with.
