Daniel O'Hara
Episodes Broadcast: 2015
Daniel O'Hara was born in Dublin, Ireland and completed a postgraduate
diploma in film production at the Dublin Institute of Technology. He got
his start in television as a camera operator, which led to an
opportunity to direct segments for the game show It's A Family
Affair. O'Hara then worked on a variety of magazine programmes, as
well as the darkly comical A Scare At Bedtime and children's
shows like The Attic. He gained attention for his award-winning
short films Yu Ming Is Ainm Dom (2003) and Fluent
Dysphasia (2004). Their success facilitated O'Hara's shift into
drama, starting with The Clinic in 2006. He then co-created
Paddywhackery before moving to the United Kingdom, where he
initially directed episodes of Inspector George Gently.
During the early 2010s, O'Hara directed for shows like Being
Human, Silent Witness and Wizards Vs Aliens. The
latter brought him to the attention of the Doctor Who production
team, as a result of which he made 2015's eerie Under The Lake / Before The
Flood for Peter Capaldi's Twelfth Doctor. Subsequent work
included Victoria and Brassic. Amongst O'Hara's credits
during the Twenties were The Stranger and Stay Close.
