And the giant wasp in the library with Agatha Christie episode will cease to exist.
In The Writers Tale, I seem to recall that the wasp thing was added as RTD didn't think they could just do a mystery, there had to be some sort of alien or monster around. Which I don't think I agree with, I don't see why for one episode they couldn't just have had a murder mystery; the man turning into a big wasp was a bit silly, and I realise it was supposed to be a comedy episode, but still.

Which makes it easier to come up with brilliance of your own for that episode.
Yes, but we're just talking about the fact that a lot needs to be set up each ep, because every single thing, bar the Doc and Amy, is different. That's quite a skill I imagine, especially in a tight time frame.
