| Don Taylor (director) at AllExperts (924 words) |
 | Taylor was greatly displeased by the arrival in December 1962 of the Canadian producer Sydney Newman as the new Head of Drama at the BBC. |
| Taylor had no interest in the series, however, and after Shaun Sutton also turned down the job it eventually went to Verity Lambert, with the programme becoming an enormous success. |
| Taylor remained with the BBC for a time, but eventually in 1963 his unhappiness with the department under Newman drove him to resign from the corporation. |
