Episodes Broadcast: 2010

Catherine Morshead's career in television began as a researcher for factual programmes. Around 1990, she became a staff director at Yorkshire Television, where the long-running soap opera Emmerdale was one of her first assignments. Morshead soon went freelance, earning credits during the Nineties on programmes such as Heartbeat, Casualty and The Bill. After the turn of the century, she directed for shows like Cutting It, Shameless, Mutual Friends and Ashes To Ashes. Morshead was one of several directors new to Doctor Who who were brought aboard for Matt Smith's first season as the Eleventh Doctor in 2010. She made two episodes: Amy's Choice by Simon Nye, whose adaptation of The Railway Children she had directed a decade earlier, and Gareth Roberts' The Lodger, which introduced James Corden as the Doctor's everyman roommate, Craig Owens. Morshead remained busy during the 2010s, when her work included everything from Above Suspicion to Downton Abbey to Fungus The Bogeyman to No Offence, on which she was also an associate producer. Projects during the early Twenties included The One, Lockwood & Co, and Batman prequel Pennyworth.
