David Taylor was formerly one of the BBC's senior producers and directors for televised light entertainment. He remained with the BBC throughout his career, starting as an assistant floor manager  and working his way through the ranks of the organisation. He worked alongside many household names such as Jimmy Savile, Terry Wogan, Jim Davidson and many others. He has a special affection for his time as the producer of The Generation Game, and for Bruce Forsyth, who was at that time the programme's much-loved presenter.

David retired from the BBC and moved to West Dorset. He now gives many lectures about his time with the corporation and is a governor of the school in the village where he now resides. He is also an active member of the local parish church and a passionate gardener!

He was awarded an honorary fellowship for services to the arts by the National College of Music and Arts, London in 2007, and he has recently accepted an invitation from the College to become a member of its Advisory Council and to oversee its diploma course for Play writing and production.

David is married to Wendy, who was also a member of the BBC staff and worked alongside the infamous Biddy Baxter on the programme 'Blue Peter'. They have two grown-up children.
