Christopher Muir
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. He was married to actress and theatre director Elke Neidhardt.
