SCRIPTWriter, CREATOR and Showrunner
Hello. I'm Sam Barlow. I’m a writer for kids TV. I’ve written for many of the world's best loved kids' characters and my scripts have contributed to a mountain of bling, including BAFTAs, Emmys, Broadcasts and British and Irish Animation Awards. Not that I'm bragging or anything.
I'm an experienced Head Writer. I can pull together teams of other fantastic writers and oversee the scriptwriting for entire series. I work in development too and have a top secret slate of original projects on the go, some of which are tantalisingly close to launch (details on request). I approach everything I write with masses of heart and lots of laughs, and with a deadly eye for story structure.
Bonus dinner party fact: I once co-wrote a script - with songs - for the legendary Dolly Parton.
