Paul Bernard (born 20 June 1929 in London[1], died 25 September 1997[2]) was a British television production designer and director, principally active from the mid-1950s to the mid-1970s.
He was never credited as production designer on Doctor Who, but he directed the plurality of the stories in seasons 9 and 10. These included the first colour appearance of the Daleks and Roger Delgado's final appearance as the Master.
Bernard's work on Doctor Who was amongst the last work he did for television. He left for a new career in fine arts in the mid-1970s and worked, among other things, as a theatre director.
According to David Burton, after the cancellation of the Doctor Who series, Bernard tried to bring the show back with Burton as the new Doctor, producing two episodes independently, partly on a Vienna location, to present and pitch them to the BBC. (DOC: Lost in the Dark Dimension) Bernard's Doctor Who would have had two companions, twins by the names of Heart and Diamond. It is alleged the BBC rejected it - though no solid evidence that arisen as of November 2020 that this project ever existed despite Richard Bignell's best efforts.[3]
