Pinfield was a highly experienced producer and director. Before joining the BBC early in the 1950s to work on live drama at Alexandra Palace, he spent over four years in 'weekly rep' as Director/Theatre Manager at the Royalty Theatre, Morecambe. He was therefore appointed to support the less experienced Lambert, as ''Doctor Who'' was her first production as a producer. In the event, she proved so adept at the job that his assistance was rarely needed, and he performed more of an advisory role. He also directed Episodes 1 to 4 of '' The Sensorites '', '' The Space Museum '' and Episodes 1 & 2 of '' Planet Of Giants '' for the series, and worked as director on other BBC series such as '' Compact (Day Of Deliverance'' and ''Fare Thee Well For I Must Leave Thee)'', ''The Monsters'', and ''The Franchise Affair''. Pinfield was also known as the inventor of an early type of Teleprompter , or Autocue , which he called the ''Piniprompter''. EXTERNAL LINKS |
