In the same press announcement, the BBC indicated they were looking for a new executive producer for [[series 8]]. It was unclear at that time whether Penhale would join another incoming executive producer, or whether she was only going to hold the title on an interim basis in [[2013]]. | '''{{PAGENAME}}''' became an [[executive producer]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' on [[13 March]] [[2013]], following the resignation of [[Caroline Skinner]].<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2013/caroline-skinner.html "Caroline Skinner steps down as Executive Producer of Doctor Who" BBC Media Centre. 13 March 2013]</ref> Like [[Julie Gardner]] before her, she became an executive producer by virtue of being [[Head of Drama]] of [[BBC Wales]].

Like the majority of [[Steven Moffat]]'s fellow [[executive producer]]s, she had worked for the {{w|Kudos (production company)|Kudos production company}} prior to her involvement with ''Doctor Who''. She had, for instance, worked on {{wi|Outcasts}}, [[production designer|production designed]] by [[Ed Thomas]]; and {{wi|The Fixer (TV series)|The Fixer}}, with [[Tamzin Outhwaite]] and [[Liz White]]. She therefore shares with [[Matt Smith]] a professional connection to {{w|Ben Richards (writer)|writer Ben Richards}}, who not only created these two shows, but also Smith's early television gig, {{wi|Party Animals|Party Animals}}. | |||
Penhale first worked with dozens of '"Doctor Who'' crew members when she executive produced the second series of [[Jean Marsh]]'s revival of {{wi|Upstairs Downstairs (2010 TV series)|}}, featuring [[Alex Kingston]]. | |||
