Cox studied English at the University of Leeds from which he graduated in 1962. He did not get into the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), but took a job as a floor assistant at the BBC. He was then offered a position on the BBC's training course for directors. Among his first assignments were three episodes of the first season of Doctor Who.[3]
Of all the directors who worked on the 1963–1989 run of Doctor Who, Cox is the only one who did not direct an entire serial at some stage.

gollark: But I would advise at least trying to convert it to WAV separately to see if it does something. Maybe a weird format issue.
gollark: It worked for me and I have no idea what might be happening.
gollark: You probably do not need to do what it does.
gollark: PotatOS is, I must note, probably around 4000 lines of cryptic densely packed poorly documented code by now.
