Sheree Folkson
Episodes Broadcast: 2014
Sheree Folkson began working in television during the Eighties, taking
junior production positions on shows like Screen Two. By 1990,
she was both producing and directing The Late Show, and she later
took the same roles on projects including In Search Of Happiness
and A Royal Scandal. Folkson also directed episodes of several
dramas, amongst them like Gold and Touching Evil. In 1999,
she worked under executive producer Nicola Shindler on Love In The
21st Century. This association led to her to work with one of
Shindler's frequent collaborators, Russell T Davies, on Mine All
Mine and Casanova. The latter starred David Tennant, and was
a major influence on Davies' decision to cast him as the Tenth Doctor in
Doctor Who.
Folkson worked with Tennant again, this time on the silver screen with
the 2011 romantic comedy The Decoy Bride. In the meantime, she
had directed for programmes such as Hope Springs and
Truckers, while also gaining some experience in the American
market with episodes of Ugly Betty and Graceland. In 2014,
Folkson made her only contribution to Doctor Who with the lyrical
In The Forest Of The Night,
starring Peter Capaldi as the Twelfth Doctor. Thereafter, she continued
to work on both sides of the Atlantic, on shows like Call The
Midwife, The Tick and American Horror Story. Folkson
was both a director and a co-executive producer on Imposters.
During the Twenties, her directing credits included episodes of Penny
Dreadful: City Of Angels, Bridgerton and
Pennyworth.
