Hi, I'm Phil. Written for 3 top BBC soaps and my first thriller TV movie is due out SOON. Want to write high-end drama (authored or in writersroom). My sweet-spot is emotional, character-driven, often queer &/or female-led (dark)comedy drama. Been told I'm good to work with.

This 'behind closed doors' attitude is anti gay. Don't worry, seeing same sex kissing won't make your kids anything they're not already except maybe open minded, accepting of others and a bit more tolerant than you seem to be.

๐ŸšจVital writer thread. I've been in exactly this, and very recently too. Support from friends has got me through. We need to not compare ourselves to others, keep the faith in our own journey and when we can't, have friends that remind us. Thank you @jamescapel for sharing. โค๏ธ

Okay Iโ€™m going pretty off-brand for a second because I want to offer some balance. Letโ€™s be honest, when things arenโ€™t going well it can be hard to see your peers flourishing when youโ€™re feeling stuck. So, you want know how my writing year has been? ๐Ÿงต

There was SO much in this that chimed with me as a closeted gay kid with only the telly for a social life, a life-long Doctor Who fan who poured his heart and soul into home-made DW comics. I came to this TV writing game late and I've got a lot of catching up to do

Happy #DoctorWhoDay to every misfit and outcast that found a safe space in the TARDIS and to every creative that's been inspired by it. โคโค

2021 was about just getting by but ended in a savage reminder that life is short and precious. Tomorrow I'm back on the ambition bus, and bitch I'm driving. Whatever your plans and hopes, Happy New Year. May it bring everything you need.

I'm sharing this but I haven't read it yet. I just can't face it. I did a trial for Doctors, it should've been my first commission (wasn't for various reasons) but it's a show I always loved. There needs to be more risk-taking, innovative, accessible shows like this, not fewer.

I came out to my parents 30 years ago this year. It took a lot of courage. Even tho I was 98% sure they'd be fine with it (and spoilers, they were) that 2% chance of losing them was almost not worth the risk. To anyone coming out now, I send you courage โค #NationalComingOutDay
