Niall Leonard
Writer
Since graduating from the National Film and Television School Niall has worked constantly for UK and American broadcasters as a writer of singles and dramas for series. As is evident from the broadcast credits below his output has been across a range of genres, but at all times has been populist and far reaching in its appeal.
Niall is one of the UK and Ireland's most prolific drama writers having created over 35 hours of broadcast material to date. In addition to his original work with Ulan Productions, Niall is currently involved in a number of new scripts for the next series of ITV's Wire in the Blood.
The list below does not include commissioned scripts which have not gone into production:
- Ballykissangel
- The Dark Room
- Hornblower
- Monarch of the Glen
- Pie In The Sky
- Rotten Apples (Also directed by Niall Leonard)
- Second Sight co-written with Paula Milne,
- Silent Witness
- Sea of Souls
- Wild at Heart
- Spender
- Wire In The Blood
Additional Information
Although his honesty does him credit to his shame Niall also admits to being the script editor for one of the UK's longest running sitcoms (over 75 episodes) Give My Head Peace.
