Having worked as a camera operator and then a vision mixer since the
late Seventies, Stuart McDonald began his directing career on the soap
opera Triangle in the early Eighties. He soon focussed on
documentary and quiz programmes, such as QED and
Brainstorm. McDonald's involvement with the Children In
Need charity appeal led him to direct Dimensions In Time, a pair of
segments for the 1993 telethon which also celebrated Doctor Who's
thirtieth anniversary. Other work during the Nineties included
Bygones, Here And Now and Parkinson. As reality
television became popular in the twenty-first century, McDonald
regularly directed for shows like The Apprentice: You're Fired!
and Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two. Other credits included
Pointless, The Chase, and various awards and special
events programmes. McDonald died in an automobile accident on April
12th, 2021.
