Mervyn Pinfield (28 February 1912 - 20 May 1966) was a British television producer and director working for the BBC during the 1950s and 1960s. He was the associate producer on the BBC television series ''Doctor Who'' from the first episode of ''An Unearthly Child'' to ''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. In 1963, he was appointed to the position of Associate Producer for ''Doctor Who'' to support the less-experienced Verity Lambert, as ''Doctor Who'' was the first program for which she was the Producer. 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 (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''. In 2013, as part of the programme's 50th anniversary celebrations, the BBC broadcast the docudrama ''An Adventure in Space and Time'', which recounted the creation and early days of ''Doctor Who''. Pinfield was portrayed by Jeff Rawle.〔BBC iPlayer episode info: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p01kqt9x/hd/An_Adventure_in_Space_and_Time/〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mervyn Pinfield」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
