Jane Tranter (born 17th March 1963) was the controller of drama commissioning at the BBC who, along with Lorraine Heggessey, was responsible for commissioning what became known as series 1 of Doctor Who. Following the success of Eccleston's outing as the ninth Doctor — as well as a string of hits including Spooks, and Waking the Dead — she became the Corporation's first, and only, Head of Fiction. This meant that she had control over all scripted television shows at the BBC.
In 2009, she left the Corporation proper to head up BBC Worldwide's operations in the United States. Along with her went Julie Gardner and Russell T Davies, and it was largely through their efforts that Torchwood became an American co-production for series 4.
She was featured on Doctor Who Confidential in the David Tennant-directed episode, Do You Remember the First Time? She was also briefly, but wordlessly, present in the episode which announced the identity of the eleventh Doctor.
