Susie Liggat

Susie Liggat is a British television producer. Her career had predominantly been as a first assistant director, in which capacity she worked on popular series such as "Teachers", "Black Books", and "Casanova", until she became a producer in 2006. She produced "Invasion of the Bane", the pilot episode of "The Sarah Jane Adventures", a spin-off from "Doctor Who", on which she had worked as a first assistant director.

During the production of the 2007 series of "Doctor Who", Liggat produced one filming block (the two-parter "Human Nature"/"The Family of Blood") as holiday relief for regular producer Phil Collinson. Liggat is also producing five episodes of the 2008 series: "Planet of the Ood", "The Sontaran Strategem", "The Poison Sky", "The Unicorn and the Wasp" and "Turn Left".

Liggat is currently producing the 2008 Christmas Special.
