The main claim to notability of this visual effects designer is the creation of K-9 (Doctor Who), but he is mentioned only once in a minor role in that article. No awards. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:51, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy keep Definitely notable - especially given some of the pop cultural cruft we allow to be kept round here. He was a stalwart of British TV sci-fi in the late 70s/early 80s and very well-known to a certain generation of the UK population. He was interviewed on BBC children's television virtually every other Saturday morning. An unsung genius who, with a budget of only £50 per episode, made the special effects on Blake's Seven look as though at least £100 had been spent on them. --Folantin (talk) 09:23, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
