Jamie Rix

 

Jamie began his broadcasting career with BBC Radio's Light Entertainment Department after two years at The Royal Court Theatre in London. From there he went on to produce The Michael Bentine Show, Weekending, and The History Of Rock. Two Sony Awards and the Premious Ondas Award followed for his work on In One Ear and Radio Active.

In 1986 he moved into television - producing, directing and writing for all the major British broadcasters on a wide range of programming - Smith & Jones was nominated for a BAFTA, Faith In The Future won a British Comedy Award and KYTV was awarded the Silver Rose of Montreux in 1992.

He has just completed a new series for BBC1 called Too Much Sun which features the talents of Mark Addy (The Full Monty) and Lee Majors.

Jamie is also a prolific writer of children's books - including Johnny Casanova - the unstoppable sex machine, The Changing Face of Johnny Casanova, The Dreaded Lurgie, A Stitch In Time, Free The Whales, The Vile Smile and The Last Chocolate Biscuit. For Scholastic he has written Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids (Smarties Prize winner) and Ghostly Tales for Ghastly Kids and the forthcoming More Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids.

The books form the basis for the hit television series, Grizzly Tales For Gruesome Kids which begins its second series this year. Jamie has also written for Scholastic, The Wizlets, illustrated by Sue Heap, The Magic Waste-Goat and Wet! Wet! Wet! - find out what the wee-widdly wizards are up to as the Wizlets' spells don't turn out quite right.

He lives with his wife Helen and sons Ben and Jack at their home in South London.
