John Gorrie (born August 11, 1932 in Hastings, East Sussex, England) is a director.
He started out as an actor before becoming assistant floor manager at the BBC. He attended BBCs director's course in early 1963 and his first jobs as a director were for the soap opera Compact and the anthology series Suspense. He also directed the Doctor Who serial The Keys of Marinus which he was reluctant to do as he was more interested in directing classics.
Gorrie also directed episodes of Out of the Unknown, Edward the King (which he also co-wrote), Play of the Month, Play for Today, and Tales of the Unexpected. Gorrie also directed John Osborne's adaptation of Wilde's novel The Picture of Dorian Gray in 1976.
In 1979, John Gorrie directed two classics: Shakespeare's Twelfth Night (taping dates May 16-21, first transmitted in the UK on 6 January 1980), and The Tempest (taping dates July 23-28, first transmitted in the UK on 27 February 1980) in the BBC Television Shakespeare project.
