When I joked about not wanting to draw parallels between Jon Nathan-Turner and Steven Moffat, some part of my brain went ping

• They both cast the youngest actor to play the Doctor to date the first chance they got to re-cast the role (Peter Davison and Matt Smith)
• They both oversaw an anniversary special that was somewhat marred by the fact that a recent Doctor (Tom Baker/Christopher Eccleston) couldn't be convinced to come back
• They both revisited old and forgotten enemies during the run-up to that anniversary special
• They both wouldn't leave the title sequence and theme tune alone
• They both tried to do really complicated seasonal arcs with limited success
• They both cast someone who had appeared on the show before (Colin Baker/Peter Capaldi) as a "darker" Doctor the second chance they got to re-cast the role
• If you consider John Hurt a "re-cast" rather than a special guest star, you can change "the second chance..." to "after killing off two Doctors" (because Tom Baker did one season under JNT)
