Tristan de Vere Cole (born Tristan John de Vere Cole[1] on 16 March 1935[2]) directed the Doctor Who television story The Wheel in Space. He was earlier an uncredited production assistant for The Dalek Invasion of Earth with Jane Shirley (INFO: The Dalek Invasion of Earth) and The Gunfighters[3] with Angela Gordon.
Though fan myth has claimed that de Vere Cole went overbudget in his directorial work on The Wheel in Space - as a result of Peter Bryant's allegations at the time - he actually delivered the story within budget.[1]
His other credits included the Verity Lambert produced soap opera United!, espionage drama Spy Trap and Terry Nation's post-apocalyptic drama Survivors.
