Educated at Abingdon School and then Hardye's School, Dorchester, Lisemore rose through the ranks of the BBC drama department for some years,[1] and became a producer in the late 1960s.[2] He was responsible for many period drama adaptations, including The Woodlanders, The Spoils of Poynton, Jude the Obscure (1971), Sense and Sensibility (1971) and Emma (1972).
Lisemore quickly established himself as a leading producer of classic period drama, often working in partnership with script editor Betty Willingale.[3] He achieved his greatest success with the dramatisations of The Pallisers (1974), How Green Was My Valley (1975–76) and I Claudius (1976), the later winning both BAFTA and Emmy awards.[4]
Martin Lisemore was married to Sarah Lisemore, an actress who was the location stand-in for Deborah Watling for location material shot for the Doctor Who story The Enemy of the World in 1968 (Martin Lisemore was the Production Assistant - the BBC term, at the time, for First Assistant - on The Enemy of the World).
On 3 February 1977, during the production of his next series, Murder Most English, Lisemore was killed in a road accident.[5]
