Alice Troughton
Episodes Broadcast: 2006-2009
Having worked in a variety of junior production positions during the
Nineties, Alice Troughton began directing soon after the turn of the
century. Her first experiences came on Doctors, for which she
would eventually make two dozen episodes. She also wrote and a directed
a 2004 short film called Doris The Builder. Other early
television credits included Holby City, EastEnders and
No Angels. Troughton was soon recruited for not one but two
Doctor Who spin-offs. First, she handled a pair of episodes for
the debut season of Torchwood in 2006. The following year, she
was responsible for two serials during the inaugural season of The
Sarah Jane Adventures.
Troughton was then invited to work on the parent show, directing the
2008 episodes The Doctor's
Daughter and Midnight, which featured David
Tennant as the Tenth Doctor. Three more stories for The Sarah Jane
Adventures followed in 2009, the last of which was The Gift. She also pitched
in, uncredited, on the first Doctor Who adventure to go into
production with Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor. This was The Time Of Angels / Flesh And
Stone, which saw Troughton briefly take charge of a second unit
while Adam Smith directed the main shoot. Away from the worlds of
Doctor Who, she earned credits on Casualty and
Merlin.
Troughton maintained a busy schedule during the 2010s, finding work on
both sides of the Atlantic. She directed for Atlantis, Legends
Of Tomorrow, A Discovery Of Witches and Tin Star, and
was reunited with former Doctor Who executive producer Russell T
Davies on his drama Cucumber. In the Twenties, Troughton was both
a director and an executive producer on The Midwich Cuckoos.
