Charlie Higson isn’t only the writer of the critically acclaimed
The Enemy
series, or the creator of Young Bond, which has been translated into twenty-five languages. He’s also an actor, scriptwriter, director, producer and former singer. He has written four crime books for adults, presented a film series for Channel 4 (
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
) and once appeared on
Never Mind the Buzzcocks
with Jedward (a career highlight).

On leaving university he formed an indie band, The Higsons, before giving it up to become a painter and decorator (the pay was better). It was around this time that he started writing for television on
Saturday Night Live
, and he went on to create the hugely successful comedy series
The Fast Show
, in which he also appeared. Other TV works include
Harry Enfield’s Television Programme, Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased)
and the sitcom
Swiss Toni.

His work for radio includes the award-winning spoof phone-in programme
Down the Line
(BBC Radio 4), which became the television comedy series
Bellamy’s People
(BBC 2).
