New Writing North’s Post

Iconic. Sharma Angel-Walfall is one of the new writers on Doctor Who. Sharma was one of the winners of the first ever Channel 4 Writing for Television awards (part of our annual #NorthernWritersAwards) exactly a decade ago. This award meant Sharma received long-term placement with Lime Pictures to work on Hollyoaks and was commissioned to write an episode. She went on to be in a number of writers’ rooms, including Sally Wainwright's The Ballad of Renegade Nell (Disney+) and Noughts & Crosses (BBC), and wrote an episode of Sharon Hogan’s Dreamland for Sky. "I am a massive Russell T Davies fan, so it is a dream come true to be able to work alongside him, especially on a show that I love." The Channel 4 Writing for Television Awards can provide critical support for writers hoping to break into the industry, and will open again for entries later this year.
