Career

Anthony Steven began his career as a reporter on the Oxford Mail. Later, he was discovered by John Grierson, the founder of the Crown Film Unit, who hired him as a writer.

In 1957 Steven joined the BBC. A prolific writer, he wrote many television serials over a period of thirty years. Some of his scripts were original but many were adaptations of classic novels, including several episodes of The Forsyte Saga (1967). In 1984, he wrote the script for the Doctor Who story The Twin Dilemma, the first to star Colin Baker as the Sixth Doctor.[1]
