INTERVIEW BY ALISTAIR McGOWN
The effects of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey don’t just affect our favourite Time Lord. It would appear its reach also extends to television directors. When DWM last spoke to Lawrence Gough in December 2016 [see The 2017 Yearbook] to chat about his helming Pearl Mackie’s introductory scene – Friend from the Future – the previous April, he had already shot and completed the two episodes that open this latest series of Doctor Who. Now, over eight months after the director completed principal photography on The Pilot and Smile, Lawrence is enjoying a pre-Easter break with his young son when DWM catches up with him again, mere days before his début episodes of the show air on BBC One.
