Kris Noble
Kris Noble (born 12 October 1952) is an Australian retired television executive, director and producer best known for his work in the Australian television industry and on American co-productions Moby Dick and Farscape. He is also known for being the executive producer of Big Brother.
Noble was born in India and then raised in Britain before relocating to Australia in the 1970s when he was in his early 20s. Noble's early television career in Australia began with a 16-year stint at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in the 1970s and 1980s. While at ABC, Noble helped launch the careers of Australian comedians Rob Sitch, Santo Cilauro, Marg Downey, Michael Veitch, Magda Szubanski and Tom Gleisner when he saw the potential for a sketch television show after seeing their comedy show at The Last Laugh in Melbourne in 1984. Noble produced the 1989 Logie Awards telecast for Seven Network before leaving the network.
At the 50th Primetime Emmy Awards in 1998, Noble was named as one of the nominees for Most Outstanding Miniseries for his work on Moby Dick which was shot in Australia. In the mid-2000s, Noble served as managing director of production company Endemol Southern Star until resigning in 2007.
Noble's time at the ABC included working as a director on Countdown.
In September 1984, Noble was appointed as producer and director of second series of Australia You're Standing In It succeeding John Eastway.
When a sequel to the satirical ABC program The Gillies Report called The Gillies Republic was aired in 1986, Noble was appointed as an associate producer on the show. After Noble developed a pilot episode of The D-Generation for the ABC, two series of the program were produced which were met with critical acclaim.
In September 1987, the ABC debuted a new live Saturday morning youth program called The Factory hosted by Alex Papps and Andrew Daddo. Just days before its first airing, the program's executive producer Grant Rule resigned with Noble urgently brought in as a replacement.
In late 1987, Noble developed a pilot for comedian Gerry Connolly under the working title Are We To Be Spared Nothing?. Just like how he had first seen the members of The D-Generation, Noble had also seen Connolly perform at The Last Laugh in Melbourne and saw potential in Connolly's comic talent, impressed with his ability to ad-lib.
