At some point in the nineties he started collaborating with Armando Iannucci, probably on SATURDAY NIGHT ARMISTICE (1995), and subsequently produced CLINTON: HIS STRUGGLE WITH DIRT (1998), THE ARMANDO IANNUCI SHOWS(2001), I’M ALAN PARTRIDGE (2002), ANGLIAN LIVES: ALAN PARTRIDGE (2003) (as director/producer), 2004:THE STUPID VERSION, TIME TRUMPET (2006), THE THICK OF IT (2005-2012), and IN THE LOOP (2009). Since then he has produced COME FLY WITH ME (2010), THE CRICKLEWOOD GREATS (2011), A TOUCH OF CLOTH (2012), INSIDE NO.9 (2013-present), DETECTORISTS (2014-15), CATASTROPHE (2015), and HOME (2018-2020).
Some non-producing credits include: ATOMIC TALES! (2006) (as writer), LAB RATS (2008) (as director). In 2017, he started Jantaculum, which continues to develop comedy and comedy-drama projects for the screen. He is currently producing THAT CHRISTMAS a feature CG animation written by Richard Curtis for Locksmith Animation, and is writing a project with Naomi Alderman. His work as producer has often been nominated for awards (ten times for a BAFTA), and he has even occasionally won. He was awarded the Nymphe D’Or for Outstanding European Comedy Producer in 2010, and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
