Faith Penhale

Faith Penhale became an executive producer of Doctor Who in 2009, following the Julie Gardner Controversy and the subsequent resignation of Julie Gardner.

Prior to Doctor Who
Before working on Doctor Who, she had worked for the Kudos production company prior to her involvement with Doctor Who. She had, for instance, worked on Outcasts, production designed by Ed Thomas; and The Fixer, with Tamzin Outhwaite and Liz White.

Penhale first worked with dozens of Doctor Who crew members when she executive produced the second series of Jean Marsh's BBC Wales revival of Upstairs Downstairs.

Penhale's career earlier in the 2000s had largely been that of a script editor, in which capacity she worked on Doctors and EastEnders. Her script-editing on the Trust, with Sarah Parish,  may have been seen by more Americans, since BBC America ran it in 2004.
