Rodney Bennett

Rodney Bennett (born Rodney Charles Bennett in Devon on 24 March 1935, died 3 January 2017 ) directed three Doctor Who television stories in the Fourth Doctor era.

Before his career in television, Bennett studied psychology at King's College Cambridge. He initially joined the BBC's radio department.

An in-joke reference to Bennett featured in the first story he worked on, The Ark in Space – namely, the "Bennett oscillator" mentioned by the Doctor in the first episode.
