Antony Root

Antony Root

Antony Root (often wrongly called Anthony) is a British writer, script editor and producer of films and television programmes.

He wrote and produced the 1991 Derek Jarman film "Edward II". Later, he worked for Granada Television's United States arm, serving as an executive producer on such projects as the 2004 USA Network re-make of their 1997 drama serial "Touching Evil".

He briefly served as script editor on the BBC science-fiction series "Doctor Who" in 1981. He worked with producer John Nathan-Turner and officially oversaw the scripts of "Four to Doomsday" by Terence Dudley and "The Visitation" and "Earthshock" by Eric Saward, who succeeded him as script editor. Root in fact did no work on "Earthshock", but was credited as script editor to avoid Saward being credited as such on his own work, which contravened BBC regulations.
