to:
I don\\\'t think Doctor Who has a UniverseBible. Newman and Webber\\\'s brief created before Anthony Coburn wrote \\\"An Unearthly Child\\\" hasn\\\'t been expanded on by any producer or production team, and I\\\'m pretty sure it\\\'s the actors\\\' own memory that make them press the same button rather than any document. Russell T Davies definitely didn\\\'t draw from this when pitching the revival series. I don\\\'t think a document outlining the very initial tone (which David Whitaker and Anthony Coburn heavily stray from) is the same as an American-style Universe Bible.
Is this source document [[http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/doctorwho/6403.shtml the same document]] where \\\"the Doctor\\\" literally has the surname Who (and doesn\\\'t seem to remember where he came from, in contrast to Susan clearly remembering the details of Gallifrey in \\\"The Sensorites\\\" and the Doctor explictly saying he and Susan are \\\"cut off\\\" in \\\"An Unearthly Child\\\"), and Susan, Ian and Barbara are Biddy, Cliff and Lola? Along with Doctor Who\\\'s team \\\"not writing science fiction\\\" nor \\\"fantasy\\\"? Yeah, apart from the very basics of \\\"an old man, two school teachers and their student travel through time\\\", this barely resembles the early transmitted episodes.
Also, the police box shape is not mentioned at all, but the TARDIS (in the document called \\\"Dr. Who\\\'s machine\\\") actually turns invisible (which I don\\\'t believe happens prior to \\\"The Impossible Astronaut\\\" in 2011). That is, people can feel it, bump into it, partly disappear by partly entering it and fully disappear by fully entering it.
Newman\\\'s notes on this memo read \\\"Don\\\'t like this at all\\\" on several occasions as well, so Webber already seems to be straying from this in the development of the show.
Can\\\'t speak for technical advisors (though if this is referring to Ian Levine in the 80s, I\\\'m pretty sure he was either unpaid or unbilled in his role).
