Alan Wareing

Alan Wareing (born 9 March 1958 ) directed three Doctor Who television stories, all featuring the Seventh Doctor: The Greatest Show in the Galaxy, Ghost Light and Survival. Having directed both the last-aired and last-produced stories, he has an unassailable claim to being "the last director of the original run of Doctor Who".

Prior to his involvement with Who, he had started out as an assistant floor manager within the BBC. Following this, he became a production assistant within the corporation and would be the production assistant for the penultimate Tom Baker story, The Keeper of Traken. Whilst training to be a director, he would be the production manager on Timelash.

Outside of Doctor Who, he worked on the soap operas Emmerdale and Coronation Street.
