My husband, Stuart Walker, who has died aged 91, was an award-winning production designer in film and television in a career that spanned 50 years, the first 30 at the BBC and then working freelance.
His BBC career started in 1959 in Schools Television and by 1968 he had become a senior designer in the BBC design department. He enjoyed working collaboratively with many of the leading directors and producers of the day, balancing design requirements with imaginative visual solutions, resulting in sets created for the studio and on location. He worked on productions ranging from Doctor Who to Shakespeare, classic drama series and contemporary single plays.
