LifeHood was born in Edzell, Angus, Scotland. His father was an infant school headmaster, firstly in Edzell and then in Montrose. After school Hood attended the University of Edinburgh between 1934 and 1938.[2] During the Second World War Hood served in the British Army as an Intelligence Officer. He spent a year in Italy as a prisoner of war before joining the partisans.[3] His memoir of this period, Pebbles from my Skull was published in 1963, a revised version appeared in 1985. It is an unromantic account of the partisans in Italy and their relationship to the official allied forces. From 1961 until 1963 Hood was the Controller of the BBC Television Service.[4] As Controller, he played a key role in changing the BBC's reputation from being a producer of stodgy, didactic programming in the tradition of Lord Reith to a more creative broadcaster. His tenures saw the launch of innovative programming such as on the police drama Z-Cars, the satire That Was the Week That Was and the influential science fiction programme Doctor Who as well as the appearance of the first female newscaster Nan Winton.[5] He became the overall Controller of BBC Television in 1963 with the preparations for the launch of the minority channel BBC2, with his former assistant Donald Baverstock working under him to Control BBC1 and Michael Peacock doing the same for the new channel.[6] This arrangement was short-lived, he resigned from the BBC in the summer of 1964,[1] though his period at Rediffusion London as Controller was short. During the 1970s he was Professor of Film and Television at the Royal College of Art, School of Film and Television.[7] He was active in the ACTT union and was a member of the Workers Revolutionary Party[1] between 1973 and 1978.[8] He had, in his youth, been a member of the Young Communist League and then the Communist Party of Great Britain.[9] In 1988 he hosted an edition of After Dark called "What Do Women Want" and featuring among others James Dearden, Mary Whitehouse, Joan Wyndham, Naim Attallah and Shere Hite. WritingsHood gained a reputation as a translator, beginning with Ernst Jünger's On the Marble Cliffs in 1946.[10] He also translated Erich Fried, Aldo Busi, Dario Fo, Dino Buzzati, Goffredo Parise and Pier Paolo Pasolini. Pebbles from My Skull, about the partisans in war-time Italy, was published in 1963 (Hutchinson) and revised in 1985 (Carcanet). He wrote several books that analyze and critique the broadcasting industry, including A Survey of Television (1967), The Mass Media (Studies in Contemporary Europe) (1972), Radio and Television (Professions) (1975), Questions of Broadcasting with Garret O'Leary (1990), Behind the Screens: The Structure of British Television (1994), and On Television with Thalia Tabary-Peterssen (1997). He also wrote some novels, including A Storm From Paradise (1985), The Upper Hand (1987) and A Den of Foxes (1991).
