Mark’s TV drama debut, CLEANING UP (co-created with Lewis Arnold and starring Sheridan Smith), aired on ITV, with consolidated viewing figures of around 8.5m per week. It was the channel’s fourth highest rated drama of the year. Mark wrote all six of the episodes of the series. The series recently arrived on Netflix and has been a huge success, being the most watched series on the platform in its first week of transmission.

Having studied Film at Gloucester University, Mark followed this up with an MA in Film & Television Production at Bristol University, where he majored in screenwriting. He’s currently working on several original ideas for TV.
