Not to be confused with associate producers.

Production associates are people tied to the production team who do not have a standard position within the production hierarchy. They serve at the pleasure of the producer, and thus when they leave, they are not always replaced. The title has rarely been credited in Doctor Who history. Because of these factors, it is difficult to speak with precision about what a production associate does. However, they can be assumed to rank somewhere between an assistant floor runner and a production manager.

Some sources — like even the BBC's official website for the original run of Doctor Who — have mistakenly considered production associates as synonymous with production managers. This, however, is instantly disproved by the credits to, amongst others, Castrovalva and Logopolis, which firmly credit both titles.
