Colm McCarthy was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. His television career
began during the Nineties, when he was an assistant director on
Mystic Knights Of Tir Na Nog. McCarthy became a fully-fledged
director around the turn of the century, with No Frontiers
amongst his early credits; he also wrote and directed the short film
The Making Of A Prodigy. Work on episodic television followed
later in the decade, including Footballers Wive$: Extra Time,
Murphy's Law, The Tudors and Spooks. 2010 saw the
release of Outcast, a horror movie he directed and co-scripted,
which included a role for Karen Gillan, who was then playing Doctor
Who companion Amy Pond.
McCarthy himself earned a credit on Doctor Who in 2013, when he
directed The Bells Of Saint
John, the first story to bring together Matt Smith's Eleventh
Doctor and the modern-day version of Jenna-Louise Coleman's
time-splintered companion, Clara Oswald. His other work during the
decade included episodes of Injustice, Endeavour,
Sherlock and Peaky Blinders. His second feature film was
2016's The Girl With All The Gifts with Glenn Close. As the 2010s
drew to a close, McCarthy began earning executive producer credits for
some of his directorial outings, including the Superman prequel
Krypton and Curfew. During the Twenties, he again worked
in both capacities on The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself.
