Robin Duval Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Robin Duval (born 1941) was director of the British Board of Film Classification, (the "Film Censor"), from 1999 to 2004.Duval was educated at King Edward's School, Birmingham. He began his career in BBC radio and as a TV advertisement writer and producer at J. Walter Thompson. In 1968 he joined the Central Office of Information (COI), eventually becoming their Head of Television and Film Production. He then became Deputy Director of Programmes at the Independent Television Commission before becoming Director of the BBFC in 1999. He succeeded James Ferman.His directorship was marked by his 2000 decision no longer to cut films for adults (unless they broke criminal law). He also abolished the '12' age-based rating, replacing it with an advisory '12A' rating. On retirement from the BBFC he was made a C.B.E. (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) in the 2005 Queen's New Years Honours List for his services to the film industry. Duval was succeeded by David Cooke.In his personal life, Duval's interests include singing, playing the piano and attending recitals. He is married with four daughters. Since he retired from the BBFC he has become a novelist, writing political thrillers set against an international backdrop. Their central character is a fortyish history professor: an imperfectly heroic hero caught up within fast-moving narratives of mystery and suspense. Their underlying themes are the 'underworld' of American politics and its effect on the rest of the world. Bear in the Woods was published in 2010 and its follow-up Below the Thunder will be published early in 2013. | Date Of Birth | 1941-01-01 |
