then, she has written an original play for Radio 4 and spent three
years on the Emmerdale
writing team. She left to write for the third series of the BBC’s
police drama New
Tricks, which she has contributed to ever since. She has
also written on four series of Waterloo
Road, including a feature length series opener. She
wrote two of the final series of Robin
Hood, including the largely discussed 'Origins' episode.
