Chris Murray(II)
- Writer
- Producer
Chris Murray created two series for the BBC: medical series Doctors, now in its 19th season, with over 3000 episodes the most successful British daytime drama ever and Merseybeat, a police procedural that ran for four seasons with Chris becoming Executive Producer and Showrunner for last two. Prior to screenwriting he spent a relatively successful decade as one half of a stand-up comedian duo.
In tandem with the above, his long-held private passion for the occult and paranormal led to work on series such as Sea Of Souls and in recent years, following a Masters degree in the subject, he has shifted original work in this direction. In his spare time he is writing a screenplay of mystical novel The Man Who Drew Triangles and pitching series ideas in similar territory: for example, contemporary re-workings of both the Faust myth and the story of Saint Bernadette as well as a thriller about resurrection and a darkly comic drama about the friendship between a boy and a demon.
