In a talk with script editor Andrew Cartmel for Doctor Who Magazine, Wyatt admitted to being a "big fan" of William Hartnell's First Doctor and Patrick Troughton's Second Doctor, with Troughton described as Wyatt's favourite Doctor. He used to watch the show "religiously", but after he was studying for his A levels, he "sort of lost interest". The Jon Pertwee era was a "complete blank", but he saw "some" of Tom Baker's Fourth Doctor and "dipped into" The Trial of a Time Lord, which he "didn't understand a word of". (DWM 473)
