London-born Nick Hurran spent two years working for the Royal National
Theatre before he moved over to television in the early Eighties.
Initially a floor manager on shows like Spooky and The
Bill, early credits as a director came on Telly Addicts and
Never The Twain. During the Nineties, Hurran directed two dozen
episodes of both Big Break and Outside Edge. The latter
part of the decade saw him work on movies like 1999's Virtual
Sexuality. After the turn of the century, Hurran directed episodes
of Take A Girl Like You, Bonekickers and the 2009 revival
of The Prisoner. He was both a producer and director on The
Last Detective.
Hurran made five Doctor Who stories featuring Matt Smith as the
Eleventh Doctor. They included 2011's The Girl Who Waited, in which
Karen Gillan had a double role as old and young versions of companion
Amy Pond, and 2012's The Angels Take
Manhattan, which saw the exit of Amy and Rory from the
programme. Hurran's final Doctor Who assignment was nothing less
than the fiftieth-anniversary special, The Day Of The Doctor, in 2013.
Smith was joined by David Tennant's Tenth Doctor and a heretofore
unknown Doctor played by John Hurt, captivating a massive worldwide
audience. Hurran's other work during the 2010s included episodes of
Me And Mrs Jones, Sherlock and Fortitude. He was a
producer/director on Childhood's End, and then served as both an
executive producer and director on Travelers and Altered
Carbon. In the Twenties, Hurran again assumed both roles for
Devils. He is married to producer Michele Buck; they have two
children.
