He was the second producer of the science fiction series Doctor Who, succeeding Verity Lambert, and credited on four serials between 1965 and 1966, namely The Myth Makers,[1] The Daleks' Master Plan (which lasted for twelve episodes),[1] The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve,[2] and The Ark.
[4] An attempt to give new companion Dodo Chaplet a cockney accent was vetoed by Wiles' superiors, who ordered that the regulars must speak "BBC English".
[6] Wiles also disliked the lengthy The Daleks' Master Plan story which had been commissioned by the previous production team[3] and which proved difficult to realise.
Although Taste of Evil was, like most of his work on Doctor Who, wiped and only still photographs are known to exist, The Man in My Head survived as its original videotape master and is available on the series DVD set.
Wiles also wrote several plays including Act of Hardness, Family on Trial and A Lesson in Blood and Roses, which was performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC).
