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 .

LRTV is a Look and Read production, originally broadcast on BBC Two in the summer of 1995. It was the first Look and Read production to be broadcast at that time of the year, and the first with fewer than 10 episodes. Changing from the usual style of a drama production supplemented by educational sequences, it was based around a fictional television station according to the show s theme, but the logo and format suggested it was probably a three or four hour show like This Morning or GMTV staffed entirely by children. It was produced by a company called Double Exposure . Plot Unlike all earlier productions, there was no particular plot, with all episodes being self contained, although the last 3 episodes were based around LRTV s upcoming birthday. The station is run by Crystal Clear,known as CC, a former window cleaner, with Frank Earnest and Daisy Hayes as the main presenters. Other characters include Emily Penn and Joe Nas, the writers, Lloyd B Stickler, who hosts the daily quiz segment, and criminal Lester Binliner. 1. Welcome To LRTV LRTV welcomes a new member of the team, Joe Nas simply known as Nas a junior writer. The anchors, Frank Earnest and Daisy Hayes, find themselves in trouble when problems with the autocue mean they have to ad lib.

Nas first assignment, writing a weather report, starts off badly, but with the help of co worker Emily Penn, and the LRTV writers kit, he soon puts it right.

The museum launched Britain s largest cinema screen, IMAX , five storeys high with six channel sound, on the same day. At the time, it specialised in the art and science of images and image making.
