Studio lighting

"Studio lighting" and sometimes "lighting" were credits for people who were in fact lighting directors during the 1963 version of Doctor Who. However, they were often not formally credited at all. In fact, the job was never credited until Eric Monk appeared in the end titles of the first part of Terror of the Autons.

They were responsible for devising and implementing a lighting plan for episodes, but had no direct control over the camera operators although the lighting plot was devised on knowledge of where the cameras were planned to be for every shot. As with most other behind-the-scenes personnel of that era, lighting directors were not employed by the Doctor Who production office, but were instead BBC employees who worked on the various BBC programmes in production at the direction of the head of BBC Lighting although it became normal practice for Directors/Producers to request certain Lighting Directors to light their programmes.

In modern, BBC Wales Doctor Who, the lighting director has two rough analogues. In that the lighting director was responsible for creating a broad lighting plan, he had one of the two main functions of the modern director of photography. In the early days, because of the studio-bound nature of the original Doctor Who, the lighting director was actually much closer to being a theatrical lighting designer than a modern cinematographer although he had to light the production for multi-camera pictures - something the cinematographers of the day did not often encounter.
