🌙 Zodiac

Louis Marks’s zodiac sign is Aries. According to astrologers, the presence of Aries always marks the beginning of something energetic and turbulent. They are continuously looking for dynamic, speed and competition, always being the first in everything - from work to social gatherings. Thanks to its ruling planet Mars and the fact it belongs to the element of Fire (just like Leo and Sagittarius), Aries is one of the most active zodiac signs. It is in their nature to take action, sometimes before they think about it well.

🌙 Chinese Zodiac Signs

Louis Marks was born in the Year of the Dragon. A powerful sign, those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Dragon are energetic and warm-hearted, charismatic, lucky at love and egotistic. They’re natural born leaders, good at giving orders and doing what’s necessary to remain on top. Compatible with Monkey and Rat.

The son of a London jeweller, Louis Marks took the unusual step of moving from the world of academia, as head of history at a boarding school, to writing and producing for television. A serious scholar with a PhD in history from Balliol College, Oxford, author of magazine articles and founder/editor of the journal Books and Bookmen, Marks entered television in 1959 by contributing four scripts to The Adventures of Robin Hood (1955).

This led to more steady work as writer for ITC's The Four Just Men (1959) and as script editor of Associated-Rediffusion's crime series No Hiding Place (1959). He joined the BBC in the same capacity in 1970, eventually rising to becoming a producer of high-quality, critically-acclaimed single dramas and miniseries, specialising in the classics (including, Silas Marner (1985), Middlemarch (1994), Daniel Deronda (2002) and a series of staged plays, Theatre Night (1985)).

Marks also tackled supernatural themes, beginning with the ghost story The Stone Tape (1972) and including (as scriptwriter) several key chapters of Doctor Who (1963), notably "Day of the Daleks" (which introduced the simian Ogrons), "Planet of Evil" and "The Mask of Mandragora" (an assignment for which he was eminently qualified, having worked in Florence to research the history of Renaissance Italy).

Marks left the BBC in 2002 to operate a B & B with his wife, who predeceased him in 2006.
