Pennant Roberts

Pennant Roberts (15 December 1940-22 June 2010 ) directed several Doctor Who television stories during the Tom Baker era and one each featuring Peter Davison and Colin Baker. His work included the uncompleted story Shada, footage from which was later repurposed for inclusion in the twentieth anniversary episode The Five Doctors. Roberts was not credited for this prominent usage of material he shot.

He is the only person to direct Doctor Who stories in both the 1970s and the 1980s.

Outside of Doctor Who, he directed episodes of Doomwatch, and Blake's 7.
