Philip Hinchcliffe

He was heavily criticised as producer of Doctor Who (1963), especially by Mary Whitehouse and her National Viewers' and Listeners' Association, for introducing more horror elements into the series and sanctioning more graphic depictions of violence and gore. Despite this criticism, the series enjoyed many of its highest viewing figures during this period, with 44 episodes winning more than 10 million viewers, making him by some measure the most successful producer of the series.

[regarding his time on Doctor Who (1963)] Some of the stories of my era were latched onto as being more frightening but I don't think we ever overstepped the mark in my view and people seemed to like it because the ratings were very high.
