BIOGRAPHY
After a short spell as an art teacher, in 1970 Harry joined the recently opened Spring Street Theatre Company founded by TV producer Barry Hanson and playwright Alan Plater. For ten years he worked as theatre designer, company manager, director and writer for the rep and youth theatres. In addition he had two spells as company manager/designer for the world-famous Soho Poly Theatre under its owner Verity Bargate, working with playwrights Barry Keefe [The Long Good Friday] and Glen Chandler [Taggart], as well as many famous actors including Nigel Hawthorn, Ian Charleson, Diana Quick, Lesley Manville and Philip Davis.
In 1980 he joined the legendary Leeds Theatre in Education team to design and help co-create the award-winning ‘Raj’ and “Dirty Rascals’, two projects that have gone down in the annals of TIE history. Whilst at Leeds Harry wrote two television plays for the ITV teen series ‘Dramarama’, the first of which, ‘Rip It Up’ gave Nick Berry his first starring television role as teddy-boy Lance Boyle.
After breaking into writing for BBC radio drama, Harry joined the BBC Television Drama Department as a script editor working on the hugely successful series ‘Howards Way’ before leaving to write scripts for the newly created soap ‘Eastenders’ which featured Angie and Den as the pub landlords from hell. By happy coincidence it was one of Harry’s Eastenders scripts that introduced the popular character ‘Wicksey’, which gave 
Nick Berry his first starring role in adult television. Incidentally the audience for that script broke the the 20 million barrier for the first time for the famous soap. 
When Eastenders creators Tony Holland and Julia Smith revived ‘District Nurse’ with Nerys Hughes, and asked Harry to join the team, he got the chance to write for one of his favourite actors, the marvelous Freddie Jones.
After ten years writing drama for all the major TV companies, Harry became a founder member of the UK independent company, Cloud 9, working as Head of Development, script consultant and senior writer on many television and film series, 
working with Hollywood legends William Shatner and Richard ‘John Boy’ Thomas.
In 1998 Harry co-created the teen hit series ‘The Tribe’ with Cloud 9 boss Raymond Thompson. From 1998 to 2003 he was 
senior writer and script editor on five series whose 260 episodes have been shown worldwide in over forty countries.
Harry has recently finished the novelization of ‘The Tribe’ and is currently working on various film and novel projects both for Cloud 9 and independently.
