Anne-Marie Flynn – Oscar Moore Foundation

30th January 2002

"We received 227 thriller scripts in 2001 and the standard was very high. Your script was one of the 54 to be recommended for a second read. Unfortunately it did not make it on to the shortlist of four."

Nadine Mellor – September Films

21st November 2001

"It is well written and you have obviously put a great deal of effort into the script. I thought the characterisation was strong and that the backdrop showed promise."

Nahrein Mirza – Little Bird Company

1st October 2001

"It was a very well written piece and the story was interesting."

Melissa Franklin – Absolutely Productions Ltd

23rd May 2001

Mr. Valentine

Craig Blake-Jones – Winchester Films

10th May 2002

Sweethearts

Karen Clarke – Open Mike Productions

Cross The Rubicon (AKA From This Day Forth)

BBC Writersroom

20th August 2007

"This was a solid and engaging script...A good study of a family...It showed a writer with a good grasp of male rivalries... The writer has potential for character driven TV drama."

Dom Philpot – World Productions

8th May 2006

"I really enjoyed your work and think you have a talent worth pursuing and developing. I believe that dialogue is one of your strengths. Richard...I found his later transformation to be very believable and touching. I would be happy to read any further drafts... or any other pieces you may have."

Neville Wortman – Wortman Productions UK

23rd March 2006

"This is a thoughtful piece and a nice concept."

Ruth Pliskin – Celtic Films Entertainment Ltd

1st November 2005

Anna Callaghan – Cinema Verity

15th July 2005

"It sounds like ‘good telly’."

Johanna Devereaux – Festival Film & Television Ltd

29th June 2005

"I like the idea of a group of brothers coming together at their family home and having to face truths about themselves – a sort of Oxfordshire LEGENDS OF THE FALL… The brothers are well contrasted and it’s possible to imagine all sorts of scenarios developing from the initial premise."

White Knight (AKA Where Angels Fear To Tread)

Ryan Evans – BBC Writersroom

13th March 2008

"The writer does a good job of avoiding the creative laziness of pigeon-holding. Dan, the principle character, is a complex man...the writer has judged his debut quite well - there is an air of mystery about him, which leaves the audience hungry for the series. The writer also has an ability to craft dramatic moments well. Dan's relationship with his sister is well presented, and represents the emotional core of the piece."

Dom Philpot – World Productions

12th July 2006

"I found your ability to convey familial relationships to be your strongest point. I like the way you have explored new and darker territory with this script."
