Books by Alan Gilbey

Alan Gilbey is a genuine cockney, born within the sound of a sat-nav being stolen. In his fifty or so years of failing to live somewhere other than the East End he has been a sickly school kid, a punk performance poet, a stand-up comic and an acclaimed playwright. He created award winning comedy/drama series for BBC radio and contributed to BBC2's Deadringers. Today he principally works in animation, creating and writing new TV series for adults and children. Shows that he scripted have won many awards, including two from the Royal Television Society and two Baftas. A decade ago, with actor Steven Wells, he started Backpassage Walks to offer alternative ways of exploring London's history and so he could get out of the house more.
