DOCTOR WHO PRODUCER
PHILIP HINCHCLIFFE
To mark its fiftieth anniversary, we welcome one of Doctor Who’s leading former producers. Philip Hinchcliffe was responsible for what many of the series’ fans regard as the best era, from 1975 to 1977. This saw Tom Baker as the Doctor in classic stories such as Genesis of the Daleks, The Robots of Death, The Talons of Weng Chiang, Revenge of the Cybermen, Pyramids of Mars, Terror of the Zygons and The Brain of Morbius.
He led the show into darker, more dramatic storylines, which resulted in unprecedented levels of both popularity and controversy for the series. Television watchdog Mary Whitehouse frequently criticised the series during this period, considering it too violent and horrific to be shown at a time when children would be watching. Despite this, the series saw its highest viewing figures, with 44 episodes having over ten million viewers, making Hinchcliffe Doctor Who’s most successful producer.
His credits, since leaving the science-fiction series, include Taggart and Rebus; the latter based on Ian Rankin’s bestselling novels.

THEATRE AND TELEVISION WRITER
DENNIS KELLY
Dennis Kelly is a highly acclaimed writer for theatre and television. He is best known for the channel 4 drama series, Utopia, and co-writing BBC Three sitcom Pulling with actress Sharon Horgan, which won a British Comedy Award. He co-wrote the hugely successful Matilda the Musical with comedian Tim Minchin. Dennis also wrote a 2009 episode of Spooks.
As a playwright, his work includes the renowned Love and Money, staged at Manchester’s Royal Exchange and the Young Vic, and DNA, held at the National Theatre. DNA is now used widely in schools and is on several curriculums for GCSE drama. Dennis was one of the ten writers who took part in writing monologues based on a children's account for a one-off event at the Old Vic, directed by Danny Boyle for Dramatic Need. His three monologues were performed by the likes of Ben Kingsley. His play, The Gods Weep, a response to Shakespeare's King Lear starred Jeremy Irons.
