  Philip Hinchcliffe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Philip Hinchcliffe (born 1944) is a British television producer, who is probably best known for the overseeing of the "golden era" of British television series Doctor Who in the mid-1970s.
Hinchcliffe, together with script editor Robert Holmes, ushered in a change in tone for the television series.
While the BBC publicly defended the programme, after three seasons Hinchcliffe was moved onto the adult police thriller series Target in 1977, and his replacement Graham Williams was specifically instructed to lighten the tone of the storylines.

 Was there a Hinchcliffe era?
Hinchcliffe has expressed his priorities chiefly in terms of building up the programme's audience from its base in 1974, which was already higher than might have been expected from a Saturday early evening series commissioned by executives who expected its audience to be primarily made up of children.
The Hinchcliffe producership is makred by a rejection of preconceptions and preconditions and the most basic elements of what passes for the programme's format are strenghtened.
The principal defining characteristic of the Hinchcliffe era is that its producer, perhaps because he had one of the series' most experienced writers as his script editor, didn't let other considerations detract from putting storytelling first, not just through scripting, but through acting, design and overall execution.

Philip Hinchcliffe was born in 1944, and educated at Slough Grammar School and Pembroke College, Cambridge.
Philip Hinchcliffe is married with two young children and lives near Windsor.

Surprisingly the novelisation is produced by Hinchcliffe himself, which is already a worrying sign as his first adaptation, Doctor Who and the Seeds of Doom, was competent but left the impression that it could have been so much more.
In part the problem stems from the basic flaws in the structure of the story, making it an uphill struggle for any adaptor to novelise, but there are other weak television stories that had already been turned into highly competent novelisations by this point, such as Doctor Who and the Claws of Axos.
What is especially tedious is the way in which he repeatedly makes the point that none of the local characters can understand some of the Doctor and Sarah's euphemisms even though elsewhere the point is made that language is never a barrier for them.

 theLogBook.com DVD Reviews - Doctor Who Pyramids Of Mars
Perhaps next only to The Brain Of Morbius, Pyramids Of Mars may well be the culmination of producer Philip Hinchcliffe's gothic-horror-cum-science-fiction vision for his reign.
A second featurette, however, is the real gold on this DVD: Serial Thrillers is a nice overview of the entire reign of producer Philip Hinchcliffe, with contributions from writers, actors and directors who worked under him, then-fans who now guide the Doctor's adventures in print and audio, and archival interview footage with the late Mrs.
Mary Whitehouse, who, as the self-appointed leader of the National Viewers' and Listeners' Association, a grass-roots media watchdog group, was Hinchcliffe's most vocal critic.

 03-THE SONTARAN EXPERIMENT   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
It was also the first story with Philip Hinchcliffe as producer.
Philip pushed ahead with the Sword-and-Sorcery style of scripts, as he called those inspired by fairytale and King Arthur, and they were very successful.
He and I were always at ease together and he certainly developed and consolidated the programme during his time in charge.

New adaptors are always welcome to the Target range and the arrival of Philip Hinchcliffe, just at the point when he finished producing the television series, bodes well for diversity.
Hinchcliffe's first novelisation is based on one of the stories he produced on television, yet it is one of the stories most at odds with his vision of the series.
The television story was notable at the time for the Doctor's willingness to use violence to resolve matters, especially in dealing with Chase's thugs and being prepared to threaten with a gun.

 A Brief History Of Time (Travel): The Fourth Doctor
The Deadly Assassin concluded with a twenty-second-long freeze frame of the Doctor being drowned, Whitehouse finally won an admission from the BBC that the sequence had been excessively horrifying.
Behind the scenes, it was decided that Philip Hinchcliffe should move on from the series, and that his successor should approach Doctor Who with a more light-hearted vision.
With Philip Hinchcliffe shifted off of Doctor Who onto more hard-hitting dramas which, it was perceived, would make better use of his talents, Graham Williams was brought in to both replace Hinchcliffe and to find a way to rework Doctor Who.

 doctorwho: The Bodlines
Actually, Hinchcliffe did three seasons (12-14), and even his last story (Talons) was quite creative and popular.
Actually, I think Hinchcliffe improved across his seasons, but I think season fourteen was his peak (Talons was his best work, IMHO).
That said, I doubt Hinchcliffe's comments were anything more than playing to the convention; the guy's hardly going to be looking to reenter the BBC's career system at his time of life.

 Target [TV Series] | Cast & Crew | MTV Movies
One of the most violent series on mainstream British television, the weekly, 50-minute cop drama Target made its BBC1 debut on September 9, 1977.
Patrick Mower headed the cast as the two-fisted, impeccably dressed Detective Superintendent Hackett, with frequent movie villain Philip Madoc as his immediate superior, Det. Chief Supt. Tate.
The program proved to be so bloodthirsty that, bowing to public pressure, the BBC yanked it off the air after only 18 episodes.

 Earthbound Timelords: "The Cultural Forum Model Of Television Rhetoric: A Look at 'The Ark in Space'"
Because Holmes, Hinchcliffe, and Baker are answerable to the BBC, they must act within the range of its ideology.
The BBC's charter emphasized the BBC as disseminator of "information, education, and entertainment" that also maintained high standards of quality in content and maintained the "public interest."[9] The producer must always be sure the program created is acceptable to his or her boss, in this case the BBC's head of drama.
And many writers find it hard to adjust to our pace of escapist entertainment because what we need is old-fashioned adventure with scientific wizardry on top."[20] In other words, Doctor Who of the time needed to consist of narratives that were both familiar to and distinct from other narratives in direct competition.

Unfortunately, even for 1964 when this story was broadcast, the perils are old hat as are the ways in which the travellers overcome them.
Philip Hinchcliffe's novelisation is quite workmanlike, but given the paucity of the original story can't do too much to rise it out of the ranks of mediocrity in which it rightly belongs.

Caught up in political intrigue and the manipulations of a secret society, the Doctor and Sarah must prevent the annexation of Earth by the Mandragora Helix.
'The Masque of Mandragora' was an excellent TV serial, and makes the transition to the written page under the pen of its producer, Philip Hinchcliffe.
The adaptation is a reasonable one, but perhaps suffers from the lack of the wonderful scenery of Portmeirion, where the serial was shot.
