John Nathan-Turner (Earth-33⅓)

The Producer was in charge of the production of Doctor Who by 2003 and was tasked with overseeing the creation of the Doctor Who Fortieth Anniversary Special. Wearing a Hawaiian shirt to work, he seemed to be a jolly man, but not one with an especially strong work ethics, his only suggestions during production meetings being for what sandwiches the crew (read: he) would be provided with.

Behind the scenes

 * The Producer is unmistakably drawn as a caricature of John Nathan-Turner, who was the producer of Doctor Who in real life in 1987, when the satirical story A Life in the Day of a Doctor Who Production. In real life, however, by 2003, the main Doctor Who series had been cancelled; the latest individual to have held the title of producer for a story convnetionally considered part of the TV series by that point was Peter V. Ware, on the 1996 TV Movie, while the producers of the two non-TV Doctor Who stories with a claim to being the real-life 40th anniversary special were, respectively, Muirinn Lane Kelly (producer of Scream of the Shalka) and the joint pair of Gary Russell and Jason Haigh-Ellery (joint producers of Zagreus).
