Hodges, a Bristol native who was born in 1932, worked as a chartered accountant while serving two years in the Royal Navy as a minesweeper in northern fishing ports in England.
Operating teleprompters for television was his first job in the entertainment industry, which paved the door for him to later create and helm news and documentary programs. His first notable feature film, Get Carter, based on a Ted Lewis novel, was released in theaters in 1971.
In the movie, Sir Michael Caine portrayed a London mobster who sought out his own particular form of vengeance after his brother was killed in Newcastle.
Get Carter’s success led Hodges and Caine to collaborate once more on Pulp the following year.
