Daniel Nettheim
Episodes Broadcast: 2015, 2017
Daniel Nettheim was born in Sydney, Australia where he became a fan of
Doctor Who after watching the adventures of Tom Baker's Fourth
Doctor during his childhood. In fact his uncle, David Nettheim, had
played the ill-fated Fedorin in 1967's The Enemy Of The World. Nettheim
began writing and directing short films during the mid-Nineties, which
led to television work as a director of shows like Driven Crazy,
as well as the Choose Your Own Nightmare series of video games.
Assignments after the turn of the century included episodes of Love
Is A Four-Letter Word, The Secret Life Of Us, Headland
and Rush.
Nettheim's first professional connection with the worlds of Doctor
Who came in the form of four 2010 episodes of K·9, the
unofficial spin-off series produced in Australia. The next year, he
co-wrote and directed the adventure movie The Hunter starring
Willem Dafoe. Nettheim began to divide his time between Australia and
the United Kingdom, with Dance Academy, Line Of Duty and
Whitechapel amongst his credits. In 2015, he joined Doctor
Who proper with The Zygon
Invasion / The Zygon Inversion, an unusually gritty
adventure for Peter Capaldi's Twelfth Doctor. He was back for two more
episodes in 2017 with Extremis and The Pyramid At The End Of The
World, the first two installments of a trilogy about the
sinister alien Monks.
Nettheim's subsequent projects included episodes of Broadchurch,
while Ash Vs Evil Dead represented an opportunity to work in the
United States. During the Twenties, he directed for shows such as
Cursed, The Tourist and The Twelve.
