He has also written for the BBC1 medical drama "Casualty".

More recently, he is becoming known as one of two writers of "Funland" (the other being Jeremy Dyson of The League of Gentlemen), a television series that first aired on Sunday 23rd October 2005 on digital channel BBC Three. Even before the first episode, it was already being billed as the next "Little Britain" in terms of success and it has been described as an innovative comedy.
