Gillian Richmond
- Writer
Gillian Richmond is a writer for television, stage and radio, who grew
up on army bases around the world. The Last Waltz, her first major
play, and winner of a Thames TV Theatre Writers Award, told the story
of a friendship between two ill-matched army wives. The Legacy, written
during her residency at the Soho Theatre was shortlisted for the Susan
Smith Blackburn award.
She had a long association with EastEnders, and has written several landmark episodes. She was responsible for one of the first gay kisses broadcast on British mainstream TV ( when Colin kissed Barry - on the forehead - goodnight) and caused a press and public outcry. Her many other TV credits range from Silent Witness to Heartbeat. She has developed several original TV projects along the way, mostly with the BBC.
Early in her career she was a core writer on The Archers. She loves the intimacy of radio and three plays have been broadcast on BBC Radio 4: The Snatch; Moving Along and The Lost Child.
