  • Writer
IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
He was active in radio drama, firstly as a performer but later writing a number of plays that were produced by the BBC. Although he enjoyed thrillers, he frequently ventured into other areas and his play 'Frame of Deference' was a thinly-veiled, light-hearted attack on the American Dream using the medium of Science Fiction. He continued writing for the market until 1994 although few examples of his work survive and they, mostly in private collections.
