Hugh David

Hugh David (17 July 1925 – 11 September 1987) was a British actor and television director.

His directorial credits include ''Compact'', ''Z-Cars'', ''The Pallisers'' and ''Doctor Who'', for which he directed two stories in the Patrick Troughton era. While still an actor in the early 1960s, he had actually been suggested for the leading role in ''Doctor Who'' by his friend, the producer Rex Tucker, but this was vetoed by incoming series producer Verity Lambert who considered the actor too young for the role. David later stated that as he had recently starred in the Granada Television series ''Knight Errant'' and disliked the high public profile it brought him, he would not have been keen to take on another leading role anyway. He died in London aged 62, leaving his widow, the actress Wendy Williams. Provided by Wikipedia
