Episodes Broadcast: 1977-1979

Norman Stewart was born in Canada, and joined the BBC as a production assistant. It was in this capacity that he first encountered Doctor Who, working on its second-ever serial, The Daleks, in 1963. Three further serials featuring William Hartnell as the First Doctor were followed by one story each for the three subsequent Doctors. The last of these was 1977's The Invisible Enemy for Tom Baker's Fourth Doctor.

Stewart was also occasionally invited to direct, including several episodes of the soap opera The Newcomers during the late Sixties. Soon after his work on The Invisible Enemy, he returned to Doctor Who to direct the same season's effects-heavy Underworld, much of which was filmed against chroma key screens rather than on traditional sets. In 1978, he was again assigned to a technically-complex serial -- this time The Power Of Kroll, for which Stewart was given the challenge of presenting the largest monster yet seen in Doctor Who.

Stewart subsequently directed episodes of The Omega Factor and Emmerdale Farm, and also served as a production manager on Bergerac and Tenko. He appears to have left the television industry around the mid-Eighties, and is now deceased.
