Episodes Broadcast: 2018

Australian-born Jennifer Perrott discovered a passion for directing while she was completing a degree in film theory at the University of Technology Sydney. Seeking to make inroads in the profession, she worked as an assistant editor during the late Nineties, before enrolling in a directors' course at the Australian Film, Television and Radio School. Soon after the turn of the century, Perrott made several short films. They led to work in the United Kingdom on shows like Hollyoaks, Doctors, Echo Beach, and Stacked with future Doctor Who companion Karen Gillan. During the 2010s, Perrott returned to Australia to direct episodes of Offspring, Home And Away and Newton's Law. In 2016, she wrote, directed and produced the critically-acclaimed short film The Ravens. Perrott was then brought onto Doctor Who for its 2018 season, directing the Thirteenth Doctor, Jodie Whittaker, in The Tsuranga Conundrum and Kerblam!. Subsequent projects for both British and Australian television included Gentleman Jack, Secret Bridesmaids' Business, The Midwich Cuckoos and Rain Dogs.
