John Nathan-Turner

John Nathan-Turner (12 August 1947- 1 May 2002) was first a member of the production team and then the ninth, longest serving Producer for Doctor Who. He is often known simply by his initials, JNT.

Prior to Doctor Who
Many of JNT's later traits as producer can be seen in his very earliest contact with the dramatic arts. As a teenager, he was interested in advertising. On a trip to a publicity firm, he realised that he was really more attracted to the show business side of producing commercials than to the gritty reality of advertising office spaces. He became a stage manager at a cabaret in Birmingham, where he dealt with a number of 1960s British celebrities like Shirley Bassey. He also worked as a property master on a pantomime in town, which cemented his career ambitions. In the mid-1960s, he met a young Graham Williams, whose girlfriend — a clerk to the Head of Costumes — could get him a job in television. His first contract with the BBC was a one-month gig as a male costume assistant. Though his time in this role was brief, he met several people who would become important to his later career. Most notably, he met Bill Sellars, the future producer of All Creatures Great and Small.

Following this initial foray into television, he returned to the theatre for three years, where he was a stage manager and occasional bit player.
