writing
We are best known for writing for animation, for comedy and for children, or often all three. We generate concepts together, but it's usually Myles that does the physical writing of screenplays. Myles has written over seventy commissioned scripts for TV, games, short film and online with durations varying from thirty seconds to an hour.
comedy
Most of our animations are comedy, though we have ventured into dark fairy tales too. We started out writing short animated sketches and continue to create ideas for short series and individual sketches. We have also developed and made a half hour comedy pilot.
series writer
As well as developing and producing original concepts for The Brothers McLeod, Myles has also written for a number of other production companies. Things you might have heard of include: Noddy in Toyland (FIVE), SpongeBob SquarePants (Nickelodeon games), Frankenstein's Cat (BBC), Octonauts (BBC) and Jungle Junction (Disney). For a full CV, please contact our agent.
TV Development
We have worked with the BBC, Hit Entertainment, Fabrique D'Images and Entertainment One to develop new series ideas. That means starting with a basic premise for an idea, developing character profiles, the world, the rules of the world, writing an animation bible for the series, as well as developing story ideas and a pilot script.
short series
We have produced a number of short run series in both comedy and children's. We created, wrote and produced Sticks for BBC Comedy. We have also written and produced three short series for children's BBC: Pedro and Frankensheep (concept by Phil Cooper), also Quiff and Boot and The Approximate History of Maths.
spec scripts
Myles' current ambition is to get a few more spec scripts under his belt. A few years ago he wrote his first feature which he's hoping to revisit one of these days. In 2008 he wrote an on-spec script of Doctor Who for the sheer hell of it. He has recently completed drafts of a play, a radio sitcom pilot and a children's novel.
