Me and Him and Who

Me and Him and Who

A play by Stephen Wyatt

Room 5064 Productions is proud to be bringing to the stage Stephen Wyatt’s Me and Him and Who, a touching and honest portrait of Doctor Who’s most flamboyant behind the scenes creative force: John Nathan-Turner, or as he was more affectionately know, JN-T. 

JN-T presided over three distinct eras of classic Doctor Who from 1980 - 1989, as the producer incarnate. But his ability to juggle budgets, actors, and egos brought about his perceived downfall as he struggled to channel his talents after the BBC cancelled the show in 1989.

Our play opens with his partner, Gary Downie, unwell with cancer, and his own health sliding downhill as he battles with alcoholism and a growing industry dejection, this is the story of the final three acts of John Nathan-Turner’s life as he attempts to write a ‘tell-all’ autobiography of his time on the show that came to define him.

Starring Richard Unwin as John and Paul Antony as Gary, Me and Him and Who is written by acclaimed Stephen Wyatt whose TV credits include Doctor Who, Casualty, The House of Elliott, theatre credits include The Standard Bearer, Told Look Younger and Look Up at the Stars and as a radio writer has won the Tinniswood Award for best original radio script twice - the only writer to have done so.
