My memory (but that is from The Making of Doctor Who) was that Nation was reluctant to be involved (being a writer for post-Galton-and-Simpson Hancock at the time) until he lost his gig. I think there was an exec producer of some kind (she being a mere slip of a lass at the time and all that) who was quickly found to be surplus to requirements. Mervyn Pinfield, that's the name. I'm not sure what it means by second batch (the second season? Planet of Giants to Time Meddler? or The Mutants/Dead Planet/Daleks?)
