WRITER Born in the Cardiff, Wales in 1936. 

Easily one of the foremost talents in the UK. Responsible for most of the big TV adaptations these days, witness the superb Bleak House. Has always adapted novels for the small screen but has contributed some truly original material too (especially A Very Peculiar Practice and kids show Marmalade Atkins), always honest and often surreal. Davies is a former lecturer at the University of Warwick.
