The Craft

01

Character-Led Drama

Whether it’s a spy-comedy for CBBC or a hard-hitting BBC drama, Keith’s scripts start with vivid, believable characters. Audiences don’t invest in plot — they invest in people.

02

Tone as a Tool

With credits ranging from comedy-adventure to serious drama — and an all-musical episode to his name — Keith understands how tone shapes audience experience across every format.

03

Series Architecture

Running 88 episodes teaches you how to sustain narrative momentum, develop character arcs across seasons, and keep audiences returning. Keith brings that long-form thinking to every project.

04

Writers’ Room Experience

As both lead writer and collaborator, Keith is comfortable taking a brief, developing it, pitching it back, and delivering polished scripts to tight broadcast deadlines.
