“producer Peter Wagg”

…a dirty pun?

You, obviously. Cunt.

You, obviously. Cunt.

You know, I'm not sure

You know, I’m not sure which of us you were describing as the more succinct ;-)

What I said much more

What I said much more succinctly, there.

Exactly. I don't think they

Exactly. I don’t think they set out to cast a one-series Doctor, but that it probably became apparent very early on that they had, and thus built the series around that idea.

I'd subscribe to the theory

I’d subscribe to the theory that they wrote this series knowing it would be Ecclestone’s only one. Whether RTD intended originally that the Ninth Doctor would only last for one series is another matter. I doubt it - I can’t see commissioning editors going for it.

I did have a theory

I did have a theory that the departure might always have been planned, but… I can’t see it. I think, however, that Eccleston told them very early on that he would only do one series, and that they then structured the series around that idea.

Eccleston's early departure was planned

Eccleston’s early departure was planned from an early stage as it fit in well with Russell T Davis’s plan for the season’s story arc. I can’t wait for the last 3 episodes, even though they are written by Davis himself who seems to be more interested in laughs than anything else. We’ll see.
