According to the blog, "Britain is no country for old men": Brian Morgan, cameraman and director of photography, was "nicknamed the 'Prince of Darkness'" because of his preference for the use of "minimal lighting to create mood and atmosphere ..."

In the 1960s, he got a job at Harlech Television Company as a camera assistant, where he worked with "the talented Tony Impey, who taught him much about the skills of lighting for film."

Having joined "Patrick Dromgoole's 'dream drama team'", he and Tony Impey worked on "Arthur of the Britons". Brian was Camera Operator on "The Gift of Life", "Enemies and Lovers", "In Common Cause", "The Penitent Invader", "The Slaves", "People of the Plough", "Go Warily", "The Prisoner", "The Duel", "Rowena", "Some Saxon Women", "The Marriage Feast", "The Prize", "Six Measures of Silver", "Rolf the Preacher", "The Wood People" and "The Girl from Rome."

Brian also has credits for "Children of the Stones", "Kidnapped", and "Robin of Sherwood". 'Robert Young, director on "Robin of Sherwood", said he could always rely on Brian to astound and surprise him.'

His later work includes "Wycliffe", and "McCallum" and "Jamaica Inn."
