Biography
Born James Dudley Goddard in
Zeffirelli and Visconti, he moved into television work.[2] In 1959 he joined the ABC Television design department as a production designer where he could be working one week on a kitchen-sink drama for Armchair Theatre[3] or the next on a children's sci-fi series.[1] Significantly he worked on The Avengers series which ran on ITV from 1961 to 1969.[4]
He first achieved recognition as a director for his work on five episodes of ABC TV's Tempo (1965–67), an arts magazine show, which led to his close friendship with
16mm film, rather than the then usual larger videotape cameras.[6] This smaller film unit became the standard for Euston Films, a company that played an important role in Goddard's future career.[5]
