Michael Scott-Smith

Michael Scott-Smith’s four decade career as a producer/director spans everything from Compass and Close to Home to Crime Watch. In the 1970s Scott-Smith helped open the doors of television to many of the decade's emerging independent filmmakers. In 1975 he was named head of drama for TV1, overseeing a rush of new production, before stints in information programmes and back at the production coal face.

Television was in its infancy here, and I wanted to be part of that wonderful, mindblowing time when it really connected with its audience.
