PETE ATKIN
SENIOR PRODUCER
Pete has been involved with Above The Title since 2003 where his work has included Pottermanship with Stephen Fry, The Woman Who Invented Sitcom, Anything You Can Do, Frederic Raphael's The Glittering Prizes, Something In The Air and Jam Yesterday by playwright Peter Nichols. Pete heads up drama production and development.
After a spell in the music business and then writing for radio, TV, and theatre, Pete joined BBC Radio Light Entertainment as a producer and worked on classic programmes such as My Word, My Music, Just A Minute, And Week Ending, and then went on to make many programmes which can now be heard again on BBC7 -- Simon Brett's award-winning After Henry (starring Prunella Scales), Legal Decent Honest And Truthful, and the late great Peter Tinniswood's Uncle Mort series, among many others.
Since leaving the BBC he has continued to produce an ever wider range of features and dramas, as well as readings and comedies. Again among many others, he has been the producer of Martin Jarvis's renowned Just William readings for over twenty years, and Radio 4's colossal 306 episode history of Britain, This Sceptred Isle.
In amongst all of this he still manages to pursue his revived musical career, still writing songs with Clive James and occasionally touring the UK and Australia in their two-man show.
