Who directed the BBC television series Sherlock episode "The Reichenbach Fall"?

Paul McGuigan directed The Reichenbach Fall, an episode of the BBC television series Sherlock.

The episode is the series 2 finale and adapts elements of Arthur Conan Doyle's story The Final Problem. Its plot centers on Jim Moriarty's attempt to discredit Sherlock Holmes and on the detective's public confrontation with him at St Bartholomew's Hospital.

McGuigan directed all three episodes of Sherlock's second series, including A Scandal in Belgravia and The Hounds of Baskerville. His direction helped establish the episode's heightened visual style and its suspenseful treatment of Sherlock's apparent death.

The episode's director is often confused with Nick Hurran, who directed the series 2 special The Abominable Bride, or Jeremy Lovering, who directed The Hounds of Baskerville. Those are different production credits within the same television series.
