JN-T: The Life and Scandalous Times of John Nathan-Turner
JN-T: The Life and Scandalous Times of John Nathan-Turner, later retitled and released as Totally Tasteless: The Life of John Nathan-Turner, was an in-depth investigation of John Nathan-Turner's life, with particular emphasis on the years he was producer of Doctor Who.

(Totally Tasteless: The Life 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.
