Steve Hughes
Episodes Broadcast: 2011
Growing up during the Seventies, Steve Hughes was a fan of movies and
television, including Doctor Who. However, his post-secondary
studies initially focussed on graphic design. Concerned that he was
missing his calling, Hughes took a course in television production at
Northumberland College. He made a number of short films around the turn
of the century, and then found work as an editor on programmes like
Liquid News. Eager to branch into directing, in 2005 Hughes found
himself working on Doctors, for which he would ultimately make
more than forty episodes. He and his wife, Jane, were married the same
year. Hughes also directed several installments of Land Girls,
where his work was noticed by Doctor Who executive producer Beth
Willis. As a result, he made 2011's Closing Time for Matt Smith's
Eleventh Doctor.
Amongst Hughes' subsequent work during the 2010s were Leonardo,
Wolfblood and Creeped Out. His two dozen installments of
Casualty included both the thirtieth and thirty-fifth anniversary
broadcasts. Hughes also served as a second unit director on shows like
Killing Eve. During the Twenties, he directed programmes such as
The Last Bus and Miss Scarlet And The Duke.
