He contributed to episodes featuring the first five Doctors and carried out the first significant redesign of the TARDIS in 1976. He specialised in historical stories and also worked on series including Dad's Army and dramas such as The Lost Boys (1978), for which he received a Royal Television Society award, and Prince Regent (1979), which earned a BAFTA nomination.
