Hi, I’m Robert Butler, a BAFTA-winning writer and executive producer for television drama and children’s series. I’m currently developing two drama series with Nicola Schindler’s Quay Street Productions, an original comedy-drama for Luti Media/ITV2, and an original drama for Joe Donaldson’s Magic Hour Television. I’ve written regularly for EastEnders, Casualty, Hollyoaks, and River City, and I work across adult/YA and kids’ programming. My work includes Creeped Out, the BAFTA-winning horror-anthology series, and BBC3 docu-dramas Is This Rape? Sex on Trial and Is This Coercive Control? I’ve created, written, and produced across development and production with major broadcasters and streamer partners, and I’m always developing new projects with wide-audience appeal.
