BBC Writersroom interviews: Danny Brocklehurst

BBC Writersroom interviews TV writer, Danny Brocklehurst (The Driver, Exile, Shameless, Clocking Off).
Danny talks to us about he got started as a writer, securing his first commission for BBC Radio 4 after a producer watched his debut stage play.
He talks about developing the character Tom Rondstadt (John Simm) for hit BBC One psychological drama Exile and the techniques he uses to drive his characters forward.
Danny shares his favourite line of dialogue from Shameless, talks about the influence Paul Abbott and Jimmy McGovern have had on his work, and tells us why it’s so important for writers to “learn to love the treatment”.
