Gary Downie (17 July 1940 – 19 January 2006) was a production manager on many 1980s episodes of the long-running science fiction television series Doctor Who, and partner of its producer John Nathan-Turner.[1] His own analysis of the role of a production manager can be found on the BBC DVD release of The Two Doctors.[2] Downie also worked on I, Claudius,[3] All Creatures Great and Small and Star Cops.
Downie died on 19 January 2006, having survived Nathan-Turner who died in 2002. Gary Downie shared a home with Nathan-Turner in Saltdean, Brighton. Downie was the author of the mid 1980s book The Doctor Who Cookbook.[4] Many Doctor Who celebrities donated recipes to the volume including Ian Marter and Lalla Ward.
In Richard Marson's book The Life and Scandalous Times of John Nathan-Turner (2013)[5] Marson alleges Downie sexually assaulted him, and details other accusations of inappropriate behaviour by Nathan-Turner and Downie, during the former's period as the series' producer.[5]
