Unreferenced date April 2010 Mervyn Pinfield 28 February 1912 20 May 1966 was a United Kingdom British Television producer and director working for the BBC during the 1950s and 1960s. He is well known for being the associate producer on the BBC television series Doctor Who from the first episode of An Unearthly Child to The Romans Doctor Who The Romans , during Verity Lambert s tenure as producer. Pinfield was a highly experienced producer and director. Before joining the BBC early in the 1950s to work on live drama at Alexandra Palace, he spent over four years in weekly rep as Director Theatre Manager at the Royalty Theatre, Morecambe. He was therefore appointed to support the less experienced Lambert, as Doctor Who was her first production as a producer. In the event, she proved so adept at the job that his assistance was rarely needed, and he performed more of an advisory role. He also directed Episodes 1 to 4 of The Sensorites , The Space Museum and Episodes 1 & 2 of Planet of Giants for the series, and worked as director on other BBC series such as Compact TV series Compact Day Of Deliverance and Fare Thee Well For I Must Leave Thee , The Monsters , and The Franchise Affair . Pinfield was also known as the inventor of an early type of Teleprompter , or Autocue , which he called the Piniprompter .
