Kenith Trodd obituary: firebrand TV producer and Dennis Potter’s right-hand man Trodd, who has died aged 90, was the bold and influential producer behind Dennis Potter’s greatest works, championing radical drama and shaping British television with a lifelong commitment to creativ...

We lost Kenith Trodd last weekend, a brilliant producer and forward-thinking man who believed deeply in television and the British screen. He was ahead of his time in many ways. "A film is a film is a film."

My tribute is now up on the BFI website: www.bfi.org.uk/news/kenith-...

Paxton (Peter Vaughn) looks at the grave of William Ager, who’s definitely dead. Not that that’ll stop him. 

This was filmed in graveyard of St Mary’s, Happisburgh.

BFI Screenonline: Trodd, Kenith (1936-) Biography Producer, Script Editor

Very sad to hear from his wife that Kenith Trodd passed away on Sunday. A brilliant, fearless maker of tv and film, including a long and lively partnership with Dennis Potter. It was an honour to know him and interview him about his illustrious career. www.screenonline.org.uk/people/id/14...
