George Spenton-Foster

George Spenton-Foster (died after 1982) was a British television director and television producer, who worked for the BBC. A drink problem led to his early death.

Spenton-Foster directed two Doctor Who stories: Image of the Fendahl (1977) and The Ribos Operation (1978). He directed four Blake's 7 stories, all within the show's second season in 1978: Weapon, Pressure Point, Voice from the Past and Gambit.[1]

In late 1982, Spenton-Foster left the Liverpool-based soap opera Brookside four days before it aired because of a disagreement over bad language in the dialogue.[2][3]
