Darrol Blake (born 15 May 1937[1]) directed the Doctor Who television story The Stones of Blood.

He was later interviewed on the documentaries Getting Blood from the Stones and Darkness & Light, as well as sharing his memories of The Stones of Blood on the original audio commentary and the two-part edition of Big Finish's charitable podcast series Toby Hadoke's Who's Round (THWR 196 and THWR 197).

Career[]

Blake began as a design assistant on the BBC science fiction series Quatermass II, and then worked as a designer on The World of Wooster and Adam Adamant Lives!.

He later became a director and worked on several episodes of Doomwatch and the Thames Television children's programme Rainbow. Blake asked a puppeteer with whom he worked on that show, John Thirtle, and another, unidentified, puppeteer to provide the movements of the Megara in The Stones of Blood.[2]

His other television directing credits include The Tomorrow People, EastEnders, Coronation Street, Brookside, Emmerdale and Crossroads.
