#AdolescenceNetflix is astounding television, a lesson in what can happen when writers are given longer scenes to stay in a moment. Brilliant performances by everyone too!

Writing is a process some days you are crafting witty lines of dialogue, imagining new worlds, searching into the hearts of characters and spinning yarns, on others you’re at the fridge eat grated cheese straight from the bag…it’s all part of a process.

My Mum once told me she wished I'd write something a bit more exciting.
What’s the most brutal feedback you’ve ever got on a project? I once spent too years working on a show. Blood, sweat, tears. Nearly killed me but I was ridiculously proud. My Uncle came on opening night and said it was - and I quote - ‘the worst night of my life’. God I love that guy. Keep me humble
