Co-creator of the international smash hit science-fiction comedy series, Red Dwarf.
He has created, written and produced The Strangerers for SKY, and Dark Ages for ITV, and written four international bestselling novels, including Incompetence and his latest Fat.
Aside from his career as writer, producer and director, he has recently taken up the mike on the stand-up comedy circuit with his wryly observed take on life. Or, more accurately, barely-contained fury.
