Martin is a Production Designer with almost half a century’s experience in film and television. From a total of 26 industry award nominations he’s won an Oscar, three Emmys and a BFDG Design Award, as well as a Blue Peter Badge and the Fish Poetry Prize. In 2023 he completed nine years’ work designing all sixty episodes of The Crown. Soon after he was honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award by the BFDG, so he took the hint and decided on a career break of uncertain duration. Design credits include Shakespeare in Love, Quills, From Hell, Lady in the Water, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, W/E, The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Mr Holmes and more film and TV besides, as well as a number of events for Prada. These days he can usually be found either on the south coast or the south bank, bathing in film noir at the BFI.
