EspañolDANNY BROCKLEHURST
'Danny Brocklehurst' is a British screenwriter, born in 1971. Brocklehurst worked as a journalist for several years (as a freelancer for The Guardian, City Life and Manchester Evening News and senior feature writer for The Big Issue) before becoming a full-time screenwriter.
He has written on high-profile television drama series in the UK. These have included the BAFTA-winning ''Clocking Off'' and ''Shameless''; comedy-drama ''Linda Green''; the critically-acclaimed ''The Stretford Wives'' and 2006 BBC One hit ''Sorted''. He has been nominated for both the BAFTA and Royal Television Society Best Newcomer awards.
Brocklehurst has also written a film about the Fathers4Justice campaign for ''Calendar Girls'' producers Harbour Pictures and a four-part ITV drama, ''Talk To Me'', starring Max Beesley, Laura Fraser, Adrian Bower, Kate Ashfield, Joe Millson and Emma Pierson.
With ''Shameless'', he won a BAFTA for series one, co-wrote series two with Paul Abbott and became lead writer on series three. He left prior to the fourth series. ''Sorted'', the BBC's high profile postal drama, achieved 5 million viewers in the summer of 2006 and was the only drama that year to grow week on week in the ratings. Despite this; and the largely good critical response; the BBC did not recommission the show.
He is currently writing a nuclear war drama for the BBC "Decades" season and a single film, ''My Son Claire'', about a mother coming to terms with her son's gender reassignment.
He was featured in the writers' section of the ''Broadcast Magazine'' Hot 100 2006.

Clocking Off Series 2-4 (Bafta nominated)
Linda Green
The Stretford Wives (directed by Peter Webber, 'Girl with a Pearl Earring')
