TV & radio work


My broadcast media work has mainly been in writing voice-overs for documentaries.
I have to squeeze specific information into tight spaces, at three syllables a second - without ever using the word "meanwhile". (Oh, and a dash of humour, please!) Easy enough - once you've persuaded the directors to stop sending films at 9 a.m. and wanting them back by teatime!

I've written for: Holiday Reps, Superstore, Zoo Keepers, Life of Grime, War and Piste and Surviving the Iron Age; the series on adoption, Love Is Not Enough… and the children's series Trading Places; plus ITV's Trauma Team. I'm now working on the tenth series of the ever-popular Vets In Practice.

In 2005 I wrote for BBC2’s sensitive and at times shocking six-part series on the Child Protection Agency, Someone to Watch Over Me

My ventures into drama have been as rare as my ventures into fiction: half a dozen episodes of Emmerdale and a Radio 4 play about the man who wrote The Virginian, all of which were aired in 2000. But it's a field I enjoy, and I have more dramatic work planned.
