Geoff McQueen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Geoff McQueen (July 24, 1947 – July 6, 1994) was a TV series scriptwriter and dramatist. A carpenter and joiner by trade he worked abroad for many years before he began writing in 1978. His first success came in 1982 when an episode of The Gentle Touch he'd written was aired.
He is probably best remembered for creating Thames Television's The Bill. Prior to this he had created Give us a Break and Big Deal, both for the BBC.
He wrote for other shows, including Boon, and two Jim Davidson sitcoms.
He died aged 46 from an aneurysm.
