| 4 | His tenure as script editor, covering the latter part of Season 5 (starting with "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS5E5TheWebOfFear The Web of Fear]]") and the start of Season 6, was a turbulent time for ''Doctor Who'', in which scripts in developtment were repeatedly deemed unworkable and abandoned, requiring frequent last-minute commissioning of new scripts and bringing forward scripts scheduled for later in the season. |

| 6 | Sherwin's sole writing credit on ''Doctor Who'' was "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS6E3TheInvasion The Invasion]]", an eight-part epic Cyberman story. He also wrote, uncredited, the first episode of "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS6E2TheMindRobber The Mind Robber]]" that had been added onto the start of the story due to the preceding story being shortened by an episode, and had to use only the three regular actors, the TARDIS set, a blank studio and some spare BBC props. |
