Writer

Ever since running away from a career as a barrister, George has written for a wide range of programmes, covering everything from Radio 4’s News Quiz and Radio 3’s Saturday Play to the BAFTA-winning Double Take, Emmy-winning Smack the Pony and multi-garlanded national favourites like Horrible Histories, Mock the Week and Have I Got News For You. George was Story Editor and wrote 10 episodes across two series of the major fantasy-adventure, Theodosia for HBO Max. In addition, George has worked as writer and narrative designer on several videogames, from indie to AAA projects.
