The BBC has announced that executive producer Caroline Skinner is leaving Doctor Who to join BBC Drama Production in London.
Skinner commented: “It has been an honour to have been a part of Doctor Who, and a privilege to have worked with Steven Moffat and Matt Smith on this extraordinary show. I have hugely enjoyed my time in BBC Wales and would like to thank Faith Penhale, and our wonderful production team for their unending commitment and brilliance.”
She added: “I will miss them all enormously, but I’m leaving Doctor Who in fine form, with the new series starting at Easter and the fantastic plans for the 50th Anniversary already underway. I am delighted to be now returning to BBC Drama Production in London as an executive producer, and the new opportunities and projects that will bring.”
Caroline Skinner joined the show in 2011 following the departure of Beth Willis.
BBC Wales’ Head of Drama, Faith Penhale, take on the role of executive producer for the 50th Anniversary special alongside showrunner Steven Moffat.
Doctor Who returns on Saturday 30 March on BBC One and BBC America with Steven Moffat’s ‘The Bells of St John’.
