Work on Doctor Who
In 1987, Aaronovitch began submitting scripts to the current Doctor Who script editor, Andrew Cartmel. These however were rejected but he was encouraged by Cartmel to keep trying. Aaronovitch eventually wrote the first story for Season 25 - Remembrance Of The Daleks. Remembrance also introduced the Cartmel Master Plan. Aaronovitch then wrote for Season 26 to contribute the story Battlefield as the second of the new season.

In 1990, Aaronovitch became the new script editor for the show after Andrew Cartmel was asked by Ian Fraser to pick his successor. Aaronovitch decided to continue the Cartmel Master Plan and also continued to write several more stories for the series.
