Robin Nash
Robert Henry Douglas Drane (10 March 1927 – 18 June 2011), known professionally as Robin Nash, was a British television producer and executive, who was probably best known as producer of ''Top of the Pops'' from 1973 to 1981. At the BBC, he became Head of Variety and later Head of Television Comedy.
==Background and early career==
Nash was born in Norwich and grew up in Cromer on the north Norfolk coast, where he was educated at Paston School. His initial theatrical training was as a young member of Miss Alexander's dance group at the Lecture Hall in the town. Often the only boy in the group, he was therefore sure of a place in their productions at the local venues. A fellow dancer was his sister Anne (Lewin), a ballerina and West End dancer who would later become a Wing Commander in the Royal Air Force.〔Fellow members of the class〕 His secondary education was at The Paston School, North Walsham (whose most distinguished former pupil was Horatio Nelson). As a teenager during the Second World War he entertained allied troops and met David Croft who later wrote ''Dad's Army'' and ''It Ain't Half Hot Mum'' for the BBC.〔
After a series of acting and other theatrical jobs in London's West End, Nash joined the BBC as a studio manager in 1955.〔Obituary: Robin Nash, ''The Times'', 9 July 2011〕 In 1961 he directed location filming for Ted Willis's thriller ''Flowers of Evil'' and, in 1962-3, worked on two of Willis's other creations, the long-running police drama ''Dixon of Dock Green'' and the comedy-drama series ''Taxi!'' starring Sid James.
Succeeding situation comedies included ''Marriage Lines'' (as producer from 1965), which, since 1961, had brought Richard Briers and Prunella Scales to a wide audience, and the ''Comedy Playhouse'' pilot (1967) for a series of ''The Old Campaigner'' with Terry-Thomas, Jonathan Cecil and Elaine Taylor among others.〔Despite his ''coup'' in securing the services of Terry-Thomas for ''Comedy Playhouse'', Nash did not produce the series itself. ''Times'', 9 July 2011〕 Nash also worked during this period with Alan Melville on ''Before the Fringe'' (re-enacting sketches from past theatrical revues, 1967), Beryl Reid (''Beryl Reid Says Good Evening'', 1968) and Dora Bryan (''According to Dora'', 1968).〔''The Times'', 9 July 2011〕
