His name was Gary Downie, and for many newer fan of Doctor Who they don’t know who he is. For fans of conventions that he attended during the 80s and 90s, he became a huge staple and was well liked. He also a production manager on the classic series during the Davidson, Baker and McCoy era, along with his long time companion, the late classic series producer John Nathan-Turner. It’s being reported on Outpost Gallifrey’s web site that Downie passed away today after a long battle with cancer. I met him at a few conventions during the eighties (and never connected the dots that he and JNT were partners) and he had a great sense of humor.
