The name seems to date to 1971, when Anthony Read'nos script for the Play for Today episode "Hell's Angel" was broadcast under the pseudonym. Read's work on the 1975 BBC2 Playhouse episode "Diane" was likewise credited to "David Agnew".
The pseudonym entered into use on Doctor Who only after Read had become that show's script editor. Read and producer Graham Williams used the pen name hurriedly to assemble The Invasion of Time in 1978. A year later the name concealed the joint work of Douglas Adams, Williams and David Fisher on City of Death.
The name was also used for the episode "Blow Out" of Target. In this case, a two-hour script was pared down to one. Writer Roger Marshall quit at the pre-production stage, leaving director Douglas Camfield to, as Marshall said in an interview, "butcher" and "doctor" it.
