Ron Jones(1945-1995)
- Director
- Production Manager
Ron Jones was born in Bristol in August 1945. Straight after leaving
university he joined the BBC as a studio manager in local radio. At the
end of October 1968 he transferred to television and became an
assistant floor manager, in which capacity he subsequently worked on a
wide range of programmes. Next came a two-year stint as a researcher,
writer and occasional film insert director on "Blue Peter." His
preference was for drama, however, and after gaining promotion to
production manager he secured assignments on a number of productions
including the popular series "Bergerac" and "Secret Army." He had by
this time also completed the BBC's internal director's course, and this
led to him gaining his first credits as a bona fide director on the
season nineteen DOCTOR WHO stories "Black Orchid" and "Time-Flight." He
died in 1995.
