a big problem with RTD is and always has been that he believes his own press. he really does think he's perfect and as such, will never admit that he's screwed something up even if he does go back and fix it later on. i do find it interesting that chibnall is defending the date rape spray (which after fragments makes me wonder if its distilled jack pheromones) scene which just happens to be in the ONLY episode written by RTD.
i never watch the behind the scenes bits for TW or DW because I don't want to hear RTD or chibnall pat themselves on the back for being "witty" or "clever". for fuck sake, you are writers, you are SUPPOSED to be clever.
and if you don't want people to misinterpret what you are trying to say, then you need to do a better job of saying it. i seem to remember that as one of the first lessons in fiction writing way back in my uni days.
