Julia Smith (26th May 1927-19th June 1997) directed The Smugglers and The Underwater Menace. She was the second woman to direct a Doctor Who story, following Paddy Russell directing The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve, and one of the most important women in the BBC from the 1960s to the 1990s.
Indeed, her most recognizable contribution to British television was her co-creation and early producership of EastEnders.
