 John Nathan-Turner was the producer of "Doctor Who" from 1980 to 1989, 
 overseeing the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Doctors. 
 His tenure is notable for several key aspects: 
  
     Casting Changes: He cast three new Doctors (Peter Davison, 
  Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy) and introduced popular companions 
  like Tegan Jovanka, Peri Brown, and Ace. 
   
     Production Values: He increased the use of special effects 
  and location filming, enhancing the show's visual appeal. 
   
     Tone and Style: His era included a mix of dark, 
  serious stories and lighter, more humorous episodes, 
  often reflecting his interest in contemporary culture and trends. 
   
     Controversy and Criticism: While he revitalised the show in many ways, 
  his tenure was also marked by controversy, including the violent 
  content of some episodes and the infamous hiatus in 1985. 
  
 Overall, Nathan-Turner's era was a period of significant change 
 and experimentation for "Doctor Who," leaving a lasting impact 
 on the series.
