ABOUT ME
I am a freelance producer, executive producer and script consultant.
I was previously Head of Scripted at Ranga Bee Productions, where I developed a number of brilliant comedy shows and comedy dramas and executive produced two series of Avoidance (BBC1), Romantic Getaway (Sky), The Other Half pilot (Dave) and three Sky Shorts - Seen, Real Friends and Past Caring.
I worked for in-house BBC Comedy from 2003-2017 and worked across every BBC channel, primarily producing narrative comedy, as well as sketch and live comedy shows. I have worked for What Larks! and Expectation Entertainment (where I developed the pilot of Alma's Not Normal for BBC2), so I have experience in Indies, including BBC Studios.
Broadcast producer credits include Peter Pan Goes Wrong (BBC1), Mister Winner (BBC1), Whites (BBC2), Bluestone 42 (BBC3), Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps (BBC3), Ornate Johnsons Edwardian Spectacular (BBC4), as well as non-broadcast pilots Merry Widows (BBC1), Life's Too Short (BBC2), Rudy's Rare Records (BBC2) and Funny, Plus One (BBC3).
Previous experience includes working as a script editor for Radio 4, plus launching and producing BBC Comedy Presents, a live comedy show in Edinburgh and around the country showcasing talent such as Miranda Hart, James Cordon, Russell Howard, Matt Berry, Noel Fielding, Vic & Bob, French & Saunders, Lenny Henry and John Bishop, alongside up and coming comedy stars.
I consider one of my greatest achievements to be arranging for three series of a show set in war-torn Afghanistan to be filmed on the backlot of a winery in Franshhoek, South Africa.
