On my way home far later than I expected to be heading home from #JNTDay. Amazingly haven't eaten in 12 hours and only noticed when I left, cos I was having such a nice time.

Lovely to see old friends, make new ones, and chat to some lovely Who folk.

Happy Lupar right now.

I've been out at a Dr Who event for John Nathan Turner and now waiting for a tribute to Jackie Hagan to start - a very fun and poignant day!

Lovely folk being interviewed at #JNTDay. Really hammers home how important this daft old show is.

Waterhouse: [Despite her rep] Beryl Reid was very easy to work with, actually.

Marson: Unlike a lot of BBC producers, John actually liked actors and wanted to spend time with them off-set.

@sophiealdred.bsky.social shared her memories of 1980s Doctor Who producer John Nathan-Turner at #JNTDay - she said he would have been amazing on Strictly Come Dancing

Aldred: I think John would have been brilliant on social media and enjoyed his legacy. I'd have loved to see him on stage with RTD.

Aldred: Mike Tucker foolishly decided to match John drink for drink when we interviewed him for the Ace book... he was nearly horizontal by the end of the interview.

Aldred: Gary (Downie) was always on my side. I found his prima donna side fun. "Eyes and teeth!"

JNT considered Sophie uppity for asking for a cab home on late studio finishes. 😲

JNT cast Sophie on a hunch without even a screentest. What an instinct!

Incredible moment as a baby in the audience answers "Yes" to Sophie's question about JN-T's brand of cigs.

Aldred thinks the play is a great portrait of the JN-T/Downie relationship that's prompted a lot of memories.

Very much this. JNT's story is an all too familiar pain of a career ended too soon, so this really hits home hard. He could and should have done so much more... And they've captured that perfectly in ME, HIM AND WHO. #JNTDay
