His  first 'original' Dover play starring Kenneth Cranham - Dover and the Smoking Gun - was broadcast last October.

Of interest to fans of his comedy work is the news that both May to December and So Haunt Me are in development as change format in the US, the latter with a major star.

He's also created The Glugs (www.theglugs.com) to promote a healthier lifestyle for kids.
