Louise Page: Difference between revisions
(recent word change on lead inaccurate; Dare still has record for "most episodes". But for a costume designer the important thing is "stories", it's the same work whether there are 2 or 10 episodes.) |

Louise Page was the costume designer on BBC Wales' production of Doctor Who from The Christmas Invasion to The End of Time, except for the double banked episodes of Turn Left and Blink. Consequently, she designed costumes for 35 stories, eclipsing Daphne Dare's previous record of 30.
Her most ubiquitous design was that of the Tenth Doctor's costume. Like many key behind-the-scenes personnel, she was occasionally featured on Doctor Who Confidential — perhaps most prominently in the series 2 opener, "New New Doctor". Page was succeeded by Ray Holman, who took over the costume department with The Eleventh Hour.
One of Page's previous design credits was for a 1992 episode of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles called "The Curse of the Jackal" and the episode "The Tales of Innocence". Apart from Doctor Who (1996) scribe, Matthew Jacobs, she is thus one of the only major behind-the-scenes figures in Doctor Who to have also worked in the Indiana Jones franchise.
In 2000 she was the Costume Designer on The Strangerers, a science fiction comedy for ill-fated British Sky Broadcasting. She was also the Costume Designer on the Cannes prizewinning film (Un Certain Regard) "Beautiful People" and designed the BBC mountain rescue drama, Rock Face for two years. Immediately prior to joining the Doctor Who team, she worked on the 2005 Debra Messing/Amy Adams film, The Wedding Date.
Her work on Doctor Who attracted the notice of awards societies. She was nominated for a Royal Television Society award for her work on series 2, for which she also won a Welsh BAFTA award. She was nominated again for a Welsh BAFTA for series 3.
