I was on the writing team for series three of Sarah and Duck, produced by Karrot Entertainment, broadcast by CBeebies, 2016/17.
I loved writing for this gentle, surreal, deeply imaginative show, where objects could come to life but everything somehow felt logical. A real treat to work with Sarah Gomes-Harris and the team at Karrot. I'd always wanted to write a story about a basking shark, their permanently-open mouths are so funny and strange, and am glad that idea found a home here.
'Basking Shark' won a Japan Award for best children's animation in 2017.
