Christopher Muir was an Australian director and producer, notable for
his work in TV in the 1950s and 1960s.He joined the ABC in 1956. In an
interview about the ABC's live TV drama he said "We producers had a
buzz around us wherever we went but we also faced a lot of criticism.
I thought 60 percent of what we did was okay and 40 percent I thought
was dreadful. I recall doing several one-act plays by Australians but
nothing memorable. There was no firm commitment to local material and
we felt it was fascinating for viewers to see things like Chekov and
some of the world's best drama."Annette Andre said "he was very
intelligent and more experienced. He wasn’t easy, but he could get a
performance out of an actor."He left in the early 70s to work in
theatre, but soon returned. In 1982 he was appointed head of drama at
the ABC.
