Hello, I’m Ian. I write funny things on screen.

 

What’s happening?

I wrote a book. It’s set in an ex-pat community on a Greek Island during the 2015 migrant crisis. It’s funny and sad and highly adaptable! Gordon Wise at Curtis Brown is now my book agent for all enquiries.

Also, I just wrote the Christmas Special for BBC1’s Beyond Paradise. That’ll be on TV later this year, I’m guessing around Christmas time. I’ve also just created and written a new green-lit comedy drama for Channel 5, filming later this year. And I’m working on a half hour comedy for John Le Carre’s Ink Factory (yeah, a comedy), and an hour comedy drama set in the music industry for Mercury Studios/Moon River. All rather vague but nonetheless exciting.
