Anthony Stones

Anthony Stones spent more than two decades working in design for New Zealand television shows, on everything from dramas to legendary 60s music show C'Mon. After five years as TV2's Head of Design, he returned to his birthplace in England in 1983.

He died in China in September 2016, at age 82. Image credit: Photo taken and supplied by Dave Roberts
