Paul Murphy
Episodes Broadcast: 2014
Having cultivated an interest in performance during his childhood in
Bolton, Lancashire, Paul Murphy attended film school, and then took a
lecturing position at the University of Salford in Greater Manchester.
Meanwhile, in 1994, he co-founded a multimedia performance company
called the Chameleons Group, which developed stage shows that seamlessly
integrated live actors and pre-recorded content. Around the turn of the
century, Murphy began making short films like the critically-acclaimed
I'm Frank Morgan, and he was soon recruited to work on the soap
opera Brookside. Over the next few years, Murphy directed shows
like Hollyoaks, Trexx And Flipside, more than a dozen
episodes of Grange Hill, and twice as many installments of
Casualty, on which he was also briefly a producer.
During the 2010s, Murphy earned directing credits on programmes such as
Trollied and Wizards Vs Aliens before joining Doctor
Who for its 2014 season. He made two early adventures for Peter
Capaldi's Twelfth Doctor: Robot Of
Sherwood and The
Caretaker. Other work during the decade included Cuckoo
and Home From Home, while Murphy also began to tackle assignments
on American television, such as the fantasy series Galavant and
the sitcom American Housewife. In the Twenties, he was both a
director and an executive producer on Red Election and North
Sea Connection.
