Edit
  • Trivia
    While he was working as the director of a news crew which was reporting the Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968, he knew that he might need to appear on camera, so he borrowed a jacket from the wardrobe department at Granada TV studios before he set off. Several days later, in the middle of mayhem of war, he received a frantic phone call from the production team of Coronation Street (1960). "Can we have Albert Tatlock's jacket back immediately - we need it for filming a scene".
