Doctor Who Producer John Nathan-Turner and Gary Downie preyed on teens in the 80s, former worker Richard Marson says.

Still reeling from the Jimmy Savile sex scandal, the BBC was last night rocked by more claims of sleaze among its ranks.

Former Blue Peter boss Richard Marson has alleged one-time producer John Nathan-Turner and his partner Gary Downie sexually abused starry-eyed young male fans visiting the studio during the 80s.

And he claimed Nathan-Turner once engaged in a sexual act in his BBC office while talking on the phone to Blue Peter editor Biddy Baxter who was unaware of what was happening.
