'''Shaun Sutton''' was a major creative force in the [[British Broadcasting Corporation]] from the 1950s to the early 1990s. By the early 1960s, he had established himself as a [[producer]]. [[Sydney Newman]] offered him the opportunity to be ''[[Doctor Who]]''{{'}}s first producer. When he declined, the job fell instead to [[Verity Lambert]]. In 1966, he became the BBC's [[Head of Serials]] — a position that effectively made him the intermediate boss between Newman and then-producer of ''Doctor Who'', [[Innes Lloyd]]. He was thus the de-facto, if uncredited, [[executive producer]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]'', occupying a position somewhat similar to those of [[Julie Gardner]] and [[Piers Wenger]] in the [[BBC Wales]] version of the programme. | '''Shaun Sutton''' ([[14 October (people)|14 October]] [[1919 (people)|1919]]-[[14 May (people)|14 May]] [[2004 (people)|2004]]<ref>[https://peoplepill.com/people/shaun-sutton/ People Pill]</ref>) was a major creative force in the [[British Broadcasting Corporation]] from the 1950s to the early 1990s.

He was particularly well known for his role in the transition from [[William Hartnell]] to [[Patrick Troughton]]. A fierce advocate of Troughton, he had to negotiate with Newman — who strongly disagreed with the choice — to win Troughton the role and to find a tone for the characterisation of the [[Second Doctor]] that Newman found acceptable. | He was particularly well known for his role in the transition from [[William Hartnell]] to [[Patrick Troughton]].
