Personal Quote:

Television has now grown up and on soaps the role of the director is primarily to point cameras. The speed and instant acting required today has taken much of the fun out of the work and many - particularly BBC soaps - are run by committee. Not sure if this is good or bad, but for young directors it is very sad. See more »

Trivia:

Of the six Doctor Who serials he directed, his favorite was "The Robots of Death". See more »
