Profile image for Tony Isaac

Tony Isaac

Director, Producer

Tony Isaac played a major hand in creating some of the key television dramas of 1970s Kiwi television. He produced New Zealand's first continuing television drama Pukemanu, co-created Close to Home, our first soap, and was one of the main forces behind The Governor, arguably the most ambitious TV drama yet made on New Zealand soil. Isaac died on 4 May 1986.

Tony Isaac was passionately committed to New Zealand television and especially to the growth, scope and quality of local production. Scriptwriter Michael Noonan
