Most recently, he created and wrote the hit BBC show <em>Guilt</em>, a dark crime comedy about two brothers whose night home from a wedding doesn't quite go to plan.</p><p><br></p><p>We had great fun chatting with Neil about how he moved from freelance journalism into novel writing and then screenwriting.
