Danny Brocklehurst, 35 won a Bafta for his screenwriting contributions to 'Shameless'. Among other credits are 'Sorted', 'Clocking Off' and a new series, 'Talk to Me'. He is married and lives in south Manchester.

DB: I first met Max at the Royal Television Society Awards, last year, when he was up for Bodies and I was up for Shameless. There was a bit of banter going on between both camps, being from rival stations, and when Bodies won they were jubilant. Since they were having so much more fun, I joined their table, got talking to Max and then ended up spending the whole night with him, as you do at these things. We began to see each other around more and more as we had friends in common including Iain B MacDonald, who directed Bodies and Sorted. The turning point was when we met to discuss Talk to Me. The meetings about the shows would turn into long sessions and the friendship went from there.
