This may be a little confusing, for which we apologise. But this book, previously announced by Fantom Publishing is now going to be released by Miwk (that's us).
A hardback limited edition is being planned, but we don't have details yet. The standard paperback is already up for pre-order. Please note that the cover is not final.
We're incredibly proud to be publishing this book. It's no understatement to say that it really is one of the most fascinating Doctor Who books you will ever read.
JN-T: The Life and Scandalous Times of John Nathan-Turner tells the story of the most controversial figure in the history of Doctor Who
For more than a decade, John Nathan-Turner, or “JN-T” as he was often known, was in charge of every major artistic and practical decision affecting the world’s longest-running science fiction programme. Richard Marson brings his dramatic, farcical, sometimes scandalous, often moving story to life with the benefit of his own inside knowledge and the fruits of over 100 revealing interviews with key friends and colleagues, those John loved to those from whom he became estranged. The author has also had access to all of Nathan-Turner’s surviving archive of paperwork and photos, many of which appear here for the very first time.
“Completely addictive – scurrilous, fascinating, hilarious and naughty...”
Sophie Aldred (Ace)
“Really well written, lively, vivid and magnificently researched. It brings it all back and also tells me things I didn’t know.”
Andrew Cartmel (Doctor Who script editor 1987–89)
“Quite wonderful on many, many levels. Gripping, fascinating, appalling – and, by the end, truly moving. Immaculate research makes the whole utterly trustworthy. A very good and very well written book.”
David Reid (BBC head of drama series and serials, 1981–83)
“Reading it has been like travelling back in time myself. You’ve really brought John back to life, as complex and unpredictable as I remember him.”
Kate Easteal (John’s secretary, 1986–88)
“Some of the revelations are painful (but) we find this very rounded, well written and honest.”
Fiona Cumming and Ian Fraser
