- He loved the countryside and was fond of horses.
- His mother died when he was just 2 years old.
- As an actor he was a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company. He later became better known as a producer and director of television drama.
- BBC cameramen were without doubt the best in the world.
- [on Dudley Simpson] He was the UK's answer to Bernard Herrmann.
- [on working with the notoriously difficult Tom Baker in Docteur Who (1963)] I did actually crack. I got out of my seat in the production gallery and made for the studio floor with the full intention of flattening him. Luckily, it is a vast studio and there is a very long ladder down to the studio floor, and I had time to reflect on how terribly unproductive this would be. So I skidded to a halt in front of him and said, 'Tom, let's talk about this quietly,' which I think was a much better way to handle the situation!
