Paul Joyce directed the Doctor Who television story Warriors' Gate. He was later interviewed in the documentary The Dreaming and the 165th, 167th and 169th editions of Big Finish's charity podcast series Toby Hadoke's Who's Round.

Complications with the production of the story led him to undertake a joint effort to rewrite its script. He later argued with then-producer John Nathan-Turner and lighting director John Dixon over differing visions about how to capture the story. Joyce was briefly fired from his position after the dispute, leaving then-production assistant Graeme Harper to oversee the latter half of the script. Joyce was quickly re-hired after the issues with productions were worked out.[1]

To date, he is the only director on Doctor Who to have been fired and re-hired.
