Career
Born in the outer London village of Cheam, David Cunliffe became interested in drama while attending Tiffins High School in Kingston upon Thames. This interest led to his winning, at age 16, a Queen"s Scholarship to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) after which he worked for several years in repertory theatre around England until he became, in his mid-twenties, one Granada Television"s directors during Coronation Street"s earliest years. Several of the television series and other productions which David Cunliffe directed or produced were also broadcast in the United States.
Two years after its original showing, Fall of Eagles was transmitted on cable/satellite station Turner Broadcasting System and, in 1990, was shown on another cable/satellite station, Bravo which, at the time, was operating as a high-quality, non-commercial outlet devoted to the arts
