Bill Cotton Bill Cotton was the Controller of BBC One from 1977 to 1981 , having been the Head Of Light Entertainment since 1970 . At Light Entertainment , he had been highly successful . He oversaw and in some cases helped to created some of the most famous shows of the 1970s , like , and Bruce Forsyth ' s version of . His precise impact on the production of " Doctor Who " as the BBC1 Controller was unclear , though it can obviously be said that he was responsible for hiring John Nathan - Turner as producer . He would also have signed off on Peter Davison ' s casting as the Fifth Doctor . Cotton ' s biggest impact may have been simply that he was the bridge by which Michael Grade walked into the British Broadcasting Corporation . Indeed , they were old family friends , since Grade ' s father had been Cotton ' s father ' s agent . When Cotton moved on into the more senior role of Managing Director of Television , he became Michael Grade ' s boss , and backed Grade during the public backlash against Grade ' s 1985 " resting " of " Doctor Who " . In the immediate aftermath of Grade ' s announcement , he backed up his subordinate , saying on 28 February 1985 that he regretted the hiatus , but the BBC " had to live within its income " . A year later , he famously spoke directly to the Doctor Who Appreciation Society . On 1 March 1986 , during the depths of Grade ' s " Doctor Who " " hiatus " , he told DWAS that " Doctor Who " would indeed be returning in Autumn of that year . He also broke the news that the show would return to its 25 - minute format . However , he misled fans by implying that the reason for the change of format was to increase the length of the broadcast season — something that did not at all prove to be true of season 23 .
