In 1968, with colleagues Tony Garnett and Ken Loach, he set up Kestrel Productions, a company which was affiliated with London Weekend Television.
The Spongers (1978), written by Jim Allen and directed by Roland Joffé, also used the background of the silver jubilee, this time in the context of government spending cuts in the welfare state, in particular the closure of facilities used by a child with learning difficulties.

Born in Birmingham, Garnett lost his parents when young; his mother died when he was five from the after effects of a back-street abortion, and his father committed suicide nineteen days later.
