June Hudson

June Hudson (born 12 January 1933), sometimes credited as June Wilson, is a British television costume designer and actress. She’s known for her work on various science fiction TV series’ in the 1970s, such as Doctor Who and Blake's 7. She has been described as "Doctor Who royalty ... one of the most highly regarded costume designers ever to work on the series". June Hudson studied theatre design at the Royal College of Art. She worked as an assistant to Oliver Messel before starting at ATV studios in Hertfordshire in 1962, then joining the BBC in 1965. Hudson was an in-house designer at the BBC until 1990, and created costumes for sitcom Are You Being Served? and soap opera EastEnders. Hudson explained that "a lot of the costume designer's work is actually foraging: rummaging around in odd little boutiques, second-hand shops, and surplus stores". When describing the appeal of television, June said "I love expressing humour in clothes, seeking out elements of the costume that are amusing not just in the obvious, but aso the subtext, the subtle things which the audience will recognise subconsciously".
