Catherine Morshead
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.
