John Gorrie (born 11 August 1932) directed the Doctor Who story The Keys of Marinus.
He may also have directed, without on-screen credit, the third episode of the Doctor Who story The Reign of Terror, "A Change of Identity" when Henric Hirsch was taken ill during recording.
However, Gorrie claimed in later years to have no memory of working on The Reign of Terror, so it is possible that the director of "A Change of Identity" may actually have been someone else, whose identity remains unknown to this day.
During recording of the first episode of The Keys of Marinus, "The Sea of Death", it had to be pointed out to Gorrie by Raymond Cusick for the scene where a Voord falls through a secret panel in the wall of the Conscience Machine building and plunges down a shaft straight into a pool of acid, that although described in the script, this fact needed to be explained for the viewers, by their either hearing a scream and a splash or seeing something happen — otherwise they would merely assume that the Voord had fallen into a broom cupboard!
