Phil Collinson

Collinson as he appeared on CON: End of an Era

Phil Collinson was the main producer of Doctor Who from Rose to Journey's End, save for a handful of episodes produced by Susie Liggat. He had come to Doctor Who most immediately from the BBC Scotland paranormal drama, Sea of Souls, and was responsible for bringing a number of other crew members from that series with him to Doctor Who. Towards the end of his run on the programme, he began to be occasionally credited as executive producer, typically on those episodes produced by Liggat. He was also "series producer", effectively an executive producer, of the initial run of The Sarah Jane Adventures.

In 2008 he left BBC Wales to become Head of Drama at BBC Manchester, but then swiftly moved on to helm Coronation Street.
