When it was announced in 2006 that Harper would return to direct four episodes of Series 2 of the revived show, there was much rejoicing.

He did the "[[Recap/TheSarahJaneAdventuresS1E7E8WhateverHappenedToSarahJane Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane?]]" two-parter for Series 1 of ''Series/TheSarahJaneAdventures'' and the two-parters "[[Recap/TheSarahJaneAdventuresS2E9E10TheTemptationOfSarahJaneSmith The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith]]", "[[Recap/TheSarahJaneAdventuresS2E11E12EnemyOfTheBane Enemy of the Bane]]" for Series 2.

He got a job as floor assistant on ''Series/DoctorWho'' in 1965 and worked his way up to be a director. There he directed ''The Caves of Androzani'' and ''Revelation of the Daleks'', both considered classics. In 1993, he was slated to direct a 30th anniversary special called "The Dark Dimension", but this was axed before production began.

When it was announced that Harper would return to direct four episodes of series 2, there was much rejoicing. He directed all four of the Cyberman episodes. He directed three of the following season ("42", "Utopia" and "Last of the Time Lords", the last uncredited) and five of the season after that ("Planet of the Ood", "The Unicorn and the Wasp", "Turn Left" and "The Stolen Earth"/"Journey's End"), as well as the 2009 autumn special "The Waters of Mars". He did the ''Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane?'' two-parter for series 1 of ''Series/TheSarahJaneAdventures'' and the two-parters ''The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith'' and ''Enemy of the Bane'' for series 2. Despite being a regular collaborator during the Russel T. Davies era of the revival series, he did not return to direct any stories under Creator/StevenMoffat's tenure (well, there was "Time Crash", but that was an eight-minute special) and has yet to work with the show's team under Creator/ChrisChibnall.

Harper has also directed episodes of other shows, including ''Series/RobinHood'' and ''Series/TheBill''.

Harper, born in 1945, made an appearance as Master Bardell in a TV adaptation of ''Literature/ThePickwickPapers'' in 1955 and did other child roles, but that wasn't to be his career.
