		Eric Saward's script has been accused of being over packed with plot, but it is another sign of the desperate levels that the Daleks are plotting to rescue Davros to cure the Movellan Virus, send duplicates to Gallifrey to assassinate the High Council and place duplicates around Earth to disrupt it all at once.
		There's an interesting idea, presented by Eric Saward, that the Daleks would still be arrogant to consider themselves a universal power, despite the depletion in their ranks to the point where they're using human troopers to assist them.
		Saward, like Robert Holmes before him, likes to borrow rather heavily from the classics, and this story has a very Orwellian England in 1984, with dark, decaying, rain-swept streets and sinister police who kill their futuristic victims with the same ruthlessness as the Thought Police.

	Eric Saward - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eric Saward was born in December 1944 and became a script writer and script editor for the BBC, resigning from the latter post on the TV programme Doctor Who in 1986.
		In addition to his role as script editor, Saward also wrote the television stories Earthshock, Resurrection of the Daleks and Revelation of the Daleks as well as the 1985 radio play Slipback.
		Nevertheless, Saward's association with the show continued — in the 1990s he wrote linking narration for Doctor Who audio releases of missing episodes, and more recently he has appeared in interviews on DVDs of his serials and contributed a short story to the Big Finish Short Trips collection.

	The Trial of a Time Lord
		Eric Saward, the Script Editor for the series at the time, came up with the idea of an umbrella theme to the entire 23rd season that would involve the Doctor being placed on Trial by the Time Lords for crimes of intervening in the affairs of other planets.
		Eric Saward was not pleased with what Halliwell and Story were each doing, and eventually rejected their stories outright.
		Eric Saward stepped into the breach to fill the gap, as Script Editors have had to do in the past, and rewrote the ending of Part 13 to bridge the gap into his concluding episode.

	Counter-X > Doctor Who >> Story Reviews >>> "Revelation of the Daleks"
		Sadly, Eric Saward never really grasped quite what made "Caves" so fantastic, instead filling the season with superficial features of that story such as mercenaries, machine guns and violence.
		To be fair, though, Saward isn't a particularly bad writer; he's just a bit of a smothering script editor, when what he really needed was someone editing his scripts.
		Saward's admiration for Holmes reached its' zenith with "Revelation of the Daleks", a pastiche of the writer's style.

	Eric Pringle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eric Pringle (born in Morpeth, Northumberland, England) is a British writer for radio and television.
		Script editor Eric Saward finally responded to Pringle, and in 1982, Pringle was asked to put together a scene breakdown for War Game.
		Pringle was not particularly pleased with Saward's rewrites, believing they made the story confusing and rushed.

		In this regard, you can see that Saward's Who work was in fact a forerunner to Lawrence Miles BBC Books -- The Doctor is ineffective and constantly denigrated, but the surrounding universe the lead characters are in is populated by characters and settings are witty and eccentric and bizarre.
		In place of the normal grim environment of his television stories, Eric Saward injects a lot of humour into the script but it just fails to enliven the story and so the result is easily forgettable.
		Was Saward running out of ideas or just felt that because it was a different medium, it was possible to recycle many similar ideas...

	A Brief History Of Time (Travel): The Visitation
		The idea came from a former girlfriend of Saward's, who had been studying the Great Fire of London and observed that the fl rats which carried the Plague were almost extinct within months of the blaze.
		Saward was formally commissioned on November 20th; the title was changed once more to The Visitation, to better conceal the adventure's plot twist.
		Saward effectively took over for Root at this point, although Root would later be credited as script editor on Saward's Earthshock, to avoid the undesirable appearance of a writer script editing his own material.

	Doctor Who LogBook - Introduction - The Colin Baker Years
		Saward wasn't happy with the idea of losing some of the show's trademark suspense, but the BBC left him little choice.
		The 22nd season closed with Timelash, guest starring Blake's 7 star Paul Darrow, and Eric Saward's own Revelation Of The Daleks, the latter of which was criticised for numerous graphically violent scenes, again lending credence to Grade's claims that Doctor Who was due for an overhaul.
		Eric Saward, though he liked using "classic" villains such as the Cybermen and Daleks, was beginning to chafe at the preponderance of returning enemies from the show's past - and at John Nathan-Turner's habit of "stunt casting" prominent roles to gain publicity from the appearance of famous actors.

		This time they had more cameras and the screen (16:9) was split, 24-style, into sub-images so we could see Saward, the camera shooting Saward, Briggs or anything else that caught Keith's eye.
		Eric spent several years working as a builder in Holland.
		One might expect a Saward interview to be full of juicy gossip but it wasn't.

	Doctor Who LogBook - Introduction - The Peter Davison Years
		Nathan-Turner and Saward were keen on the idea of dispensing with Baker's near-infallible cool, making the new Doctor a little less certain of whether or not he could control a given situation.
		To that end, Saward wrote a script of his own which would point out the Doctor's vulnerability in the most essential way: one of his companions would die in the course of an adventure.
		International co-funding deals had been secured to mount a special, feature-length 20th anniversary story - and now John Nathan-Turner and Eric Saward had to create that story out of the blue, as none of the already-commissioned scripts were suitable for the occasion.

	6 : 13 - DR WHO: COLIN BAKER AND THE VALEYARD!
		As a script editor Eric Saward is to some extent responsible for the consistent characterisation of the regular cast.
		Saward found it harder to choose any one story, "I'm arrogant enough to say I thought those were the best two stories of the season, but ultimately I don't think you can compare them - all the shows were very different.
		Saward agreed, "When I wrote the part of Orcini I had in mind a young Christopher Lee, the figure he was playing fifteen years ago." Characterisation had, in fact, been one of the strongest elements of the last season.

		As for the story itself, although Saward is admittedly not fond of it I think it’s brilliant.
		It is interesting to hear them talk about the tensions between JNT and Eric Saward, the script editor.
		In the Location Featurette, Saward, cherubic and unrepentant, cheerfully states that Robinson did a good job with the rubbish he had to work with.

	Resurrection of the Daleks.... reviewed - www.ezboard.com
		There's an interesting idea, presented by Eric Saward, that the Daleks would still be arrogant to consider themselves a universal power, despite the depletion in their ranks to the point where they're using human troopers to assist them.
		Saward managed to give the Daleks more character besides screeching Exterminate every five seconds, and deserves much praise for this.
		He's an atypical Saward mercenary who doesn't have a noble side (That would appear in Attack of the Cybermen), unlike Orcini in Revelation and therefore manages to survive.

	Counter-X > Doctor Who >> Story Reviews >>> "Attack of the Cybermen"
		And "Attack of the Cybermen" is a mess of indistinct plotlines, continuity references and two-dimensional cyphers.
		I always got the impression that the violent overtones of Season 22 were not so much Saward's attempts to subvert the gentle fifth Doctor, but in fact his belief of how the character should be, turning the Doctor into some sort of revenge figure.
		It doesn't help that they're in the most superfluous of many pointless subplots which Eric seems to have crammed into the story for no readily apparent reason.

		Two good seasons back-to-back for JN-T. The worst stories in seasons 25 and 26 were mediocre at worst, unlike some other seasons where quality was all over the place.
		It becomes quite obvious that part of the problem during the JN-T era was not necessarily JN-T himself, but a certain script editor who shall remain nameless (though his initials are Eric Saward).

		He had also received conflicting information regarding the number of companions he would be writing for, and he hadn't watched the series in recent years.
		'The visitation' shows some of Eric Saward's qualities that would also be apparent in serials like 'Earthshock' and 'Resurrection of the Daleks'.

	"Best Screenwriting Magazine"--LA Times
		Former series script editor Robert Holmes once remarked that all a Doctor Who writer needed was a good story—he then noted that it didn’t have to be the writer’s own story.
		It’s no surprise then that Revelation of the Daleks echoes a number of other works, but writer Eric Saward’s fascination with quirky supporting characters is evident throughout the piece alongside his macabre sense of humor as the Doctor (Colin Baker) and Peri (Nicola Bryant) visit a planet specializing in the funereal arts.
		As is typical of Saward’s scripts for the series, the Doctor keeps to the background, indulging the writer’s love affair with quick-witted guest stars who upstage even the story’s marquee villains: the Daleks.
