Sarah Hellings
Born: 15th December 1945
Episodes Broadcast: 1985
Sarah Hellings joined the BBC in 1970, and initially worked as a film
editor. Her first experience as a director came on segments for the
children's series Blue Peter. She then went freelance in the late
Seventies, and directed episodes of Jackanory, Grange Hill
and Juliet Bravo. Hellings' work on Angels attracted the
notice of Doctor Who producer John Nathan-Turner, whom she had
previously approached about directing an historical adventure. As such,
he offered her 1985's The Mark Of The
Rani, an adventure for Colin Baker's Sixth Doctor set during the
Luddite uprisings of the nineteenth century. Hellings' credits during
the remainder of the Eighties included Howards' Way and
Boon. She was prolific during the Nineties, directing for shows
like Forever Green, The Memoirs Of Sherlock Holmes,
Doctor Finlay and Lucy Sullivan Is Getting Married.
Hellings wrapped up her television career with thirteen episodes of
Midsomer Murders, the last of which was broadcast in 2008.
