Timothy Combe (born Timothy Harvey Christian Combe on 17 October 1936, in Guildford, Surrey[1][2]) directed the Doctor Who television stories Doctor Who and the Silurians and The Mind of Evil.
He had earlier served as the uncredited assistant floor manager on The Keys of Marinus (INFO: The Reign of Terror) and later served as the uncredited production assistant on The Reign of Terror. (INFO: The Reign of Terror)
Some sources state Combe served as the uncredited director for "A Change of Identity", the third episode of Reign, after the director Henric Hirsch collapsed, but Combe later recalled that John Gorrie was parachuted in to direct it. However, Gorrie denies ever working on any of Reign. (INFO: The Reign of Terror)
Combe also directed several model sequences shot on film for episode seven of The Evil of the Daleks, but received no credit. (DWM 200) He also had an uncredited cameo as a prisoner in The Mind of Evil. (DWM 208)
Combe is the only Doctor Who television director to have never filmed the TARDIS, as neither story he filmed features the ship in any capacity.
Early Career
He trained at the Douglas Webber drama school, where one of his tutors was fellow Doctor Who director Julia Smith, who later helped Combe get a job at the BBC. (INFO: Doctor Who and the Silurians)
