Chris Murray

Biography

Chris Murray created two series for the BBC: medical series Doctors, now in its 19th season, with over 3000 episodes the most successful British daytime drama ever and Merseybeat, a police procedural that ran for four seasons with Chris becoming Executive Producer and Showrunner for last two. Prior to screenwriting he spent a relatively successful decade as one half of a stand-up comedian duo. In tandem with the above, his long-held private passion for the occult and paranormal led to work on series such as Sea Of Souls and in recent years, following a Masters degree in the subject, he has shifted original work in this direction.
