Editing David Agnew (section)

==Conditions of use==
The [[pseudonym]] "David Agnew" was most often used when the original [[freelance]] [[scriptwriter]] was unable to accommodate fundamental changes requested by the production staff, who therefore had to perform a significant rewrite themselves. BBC rules prevented the production staff from taking screen credit without a time-consuming, [[bureaucracy|bureaucratic]] appeals process, meaning that the quickest way for the project to continue under the BBC system was to use the name of a [[non-existent]] writer.{{citation needed|date=December 2018}} Sometimes production staff were directly ordered by BBC management to use the credit.{{citation needed|date=December 2018}}
