In conversation with writer Tony Schumacher

BAFTA‑nominated writer Tony Schumacher had one dream as a child: to become a writer. Instead, he left school at 16 with no qualifications and a sigh of relief.

He spent years travelling the world and working in a wide variety of jobs before returning to Liverpool, where he became a response police officer, handling 999 calls day and night. Eleven years later, following a breakdown and a period of homelessness, he found himself driving a taxi through Liverpool’s night-time streets. It was there that he rediscovered his childhood dream and finally began to write.

Tony has never looked back. He went on to create the critically acclaimed series The Responder, starring Martin Freeman.
