Simon Spencer directed episodes of Mopatop's Shop, The Hoobs, and Construction Site. After the latter, he moved on to a different set of talking vehicles, producing, and occasionally scripting Thomas and Friends. He went on to produce Zack and Quack and Waybuloo.
Early in his career, Spencer had been a production manager on several BBC sitcoms, including You Rang, M'Lord?, 'Allo 'Allo, and In Sickness and In Health (also directing an episode of the latter).
