Well, I was joking, but . . . I would love to see the mad results!

Having looked into it, due to the imbalance of numbers, I think the easiest way of doing it (if you fancy it) would be, to face-mash the producers and script editors separately, and then combine - something like this for the classic series . . .

Producers
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Sydney Newman + Verity Lambert (1963-1965)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
John Wiles (1965%u20131966) + Innes Lloyd (1966%u20131967)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Peter Bryant (1968%u20131969) + Derrick Sherwin (1969%u20131970)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Barry Letts (1970%u20131975) + Philip Hinchcliffe (1975%u20131977)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Graham Williams (1977%u20131980) + John Nathan-Turner (1980%u20131989)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Script editors
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
David Whitaker (1963%u20131964) + Dennis Spooner (1964%u20131965)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Donald Tosh (1965%u20131966) + Gerry Davis (1966%u20131967)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Peter Bryant (1967%u20131968) + Victor Pemberton (1967) **
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Terrance Dicks (1968%u20131974) + Robert Holmes (1974%u20131977)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Anthony Read (1977%u20131979) + Douglas Adams (1979%u20131980)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Christopher H. Bidmead (1980%u20131981) + Antony Root (1981%u20131982)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Eric Saward (1982%u20131986) + Andrew Cartmel (1987%u20131989)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -

** (I removed Derrick Sherwin from his pre-Terrance position - mainly to make the pairings fit without having to resort to bunging Ian Levine in. Plus he's also on the producers list - so it avoids mash-buggering double-dippage)

No pressure though, and feel free to ignore all that - particularly as it may be impossible to find a decent pic of some of them.

Blimey, you've thought that through. Then just go to full-on showrunners for new Who? Which is an annoyingly odd number as well. :(

You could throw in Philip Segal - who was the main bloke behind the 1996 movie, or maybe Nick Briggs with Big Finish? :)

I am grateful for this project. We all wondered what the ultimate Who companion would look like, and now we know.

But what does the ultimate Davros look like?

QuoteDOCTOR WHO : if you had created a face-mashing thread on Cook'd and Bomb'd, something contagious and infectious that entertained on contact, a face that would destroy all other forms of faces, would you allow its use?

MISTER SIX : It is an interesting conjecture.

DOCTOR WHO : Would you do it?

MISTER SIX : The only remaining face, an ultimate face-mash reigning supreme. A fascinating idea.

DOCTOR WHO : But would you do it?

MISTER SIX : Yes. Yes. To hold in my hand a web-page that contains such power, to know that shits and giggles on such a scale was my choice. To know that the tiny pressure on my thumb, enough to press post, would end everything. Yes, I would do it! That power would set me up above the gods. And through the face-mash, I shall have that power!
