Episodes Broadcast: 2007

Phil Gladwin was born in Grimsby, Lincolnshire. In his early twenties, he wrote a short story which performed well in a national competition. The experience encouraged Gladwin to pursue a career as an author, but he struggled to establish himself. In the mid-Nineties, he was able to secure a job as a script editor on programmes like Casualty and The Bill. It was on the latter that Gladwin was able to make the jump to scriptwriting around the turn of the century; he also wrote for Grange Hill at about the same time. He would go on to contribute to programmes such as Crossroads and Trial & Retribution. He also collaborated on an ultimately-unmade project with Matthew Bouch; when Bouch became the producer of the Doctor Who spin-off The Sarah Jane Adventures, he invited Gladwin to contribute ideas. The result was 2007's Warriors Of Kudlak. Gladwin subsequently returned to script editing, working on New Tricks and The Dumping Ground. He also developed resources to help new writers break into the industry.
