Sidney Hayers

Hayers in 1990 Sidney Hayers (24 August 1921 – 8 February 2000) was a British film and television director, writer and producer.

Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Hayers began his career as a film editor. Among the films he directed are ''Circus of Horrors'' (1960), the occult thriller ''Night of the Eagle'' (1962), a musical ''Three Hats for Lisa'' (1965), and the adventure films ''The Southern Star'' (1969) and ''The Trap'' (1966). He made a British kitchen sink drama with ''This is My Street'' but it made little impact. ''Filmink'' magazine argued, "If you don’t think critics make a difference, just ask Sidney Hayers," comparing him with Clive Donner who also made a movie for the same studio, ''Nothing but the Best.''. "Donner is no better director than Hayers, but he got the reviews [for ''Nothing But the Best''] and was thus whisked off to Hollywood; Hayers toiled in B-land for the rest of his career."

In British TV, his credits included ''The Persuaders!'' and ''The New Avengers''; he later directed several American TV shows, including episodes of ''Magnum, P.I.'', ''The A-Team'', ''Knight Rider'', ''T. J. Hooker'', ''Baywatch'' and ''The Famous Five''.

Hayers died of cancer in 2000 in Altea, Spain. His wife was the actress Erika Remberg. He had two children, Susan and Robert from his first marriage, to Patricia. Provided by Wikipedia
