Sad news that Gerry O'Hara, director of two Series 4 episodes, has passed away. 98 is a ripe old age though! Rodney Marshall mentions it on his Twitter:

This was very sad news. I was able to chat to Gerry a couple of times over the years and he was very kind and helpful.
RIP Gerry. |

Sad news.
Director of the very visually pleasing episodes (The Hour that Never Was and Small Game for Big Hunters), especially the former. |

Small Game For Big Hunters is a very underrated episode. It was a pleasure to rediscover it and write about it for Rodney's "Bright Horizons" book. The casting, direction and dialogue is top notch. _________________ Last watched: "The Medicine Men" |

Agreed! This episode has grown on me over the years. It touches all bases: witty dialogue, icy mastermind, and a wonderful crackpot in Bill Fraser as Colonel Rawlings. He alone is worth the watching. (That and some beautiful shots of Diana.) |
