Jennie Fava

Jennie Fava was a 2nd assistant director on Doctor Who on series three, four, and the Specials. She appeared onscreen in the episode Gridlock as an uncredited extra (a guest hiding under the table when Lazurus attacks). and has appeared on Doctor Who Confidential and in some of David Tennant's video diaries, some of which she also helped film.

In 2009 she directed a segment for the Doctor Who 2advent calendar (a video of Tennant singing and dancing with The Proclaimers), and for each project she works on, she makes a comedic video of the cast and crew which is screened and given out as gifts at the wrap party. The cast and crew videos for Doctor Who, Blackpool (featuring David Tennant and David Morrissey) and several other shows can be watched on YouTube, along with a special video called 'The Ballad of Russell and Julie', a comedy musical sketch in which David Tennant plays Russell T Davies and Catherine Tate plays Julie Gardner, and John Barrowman plays the piano and sings. 1

She is one of David Tennant's best friends and has worked with him on several different productions, namely Blackpool, The Chatterly Affair, Hamlet, and This Is Jinsy (Tennant accepted a role on the latter on her recommendation).
