Gerard Foster
Scriptwriter

Hi there, I'm Gerard (or Gez). I'm one of the UK's leading Children's TV writers, with hundreds of individual episodes to my name - live-action, animation, game-shows, factual entertainment... If it's sweet, warm, funny and on kids TV, there's a chance I might have worked on the show. 

​

I've written a load of comedy for grown-ups too, including sitcoms, dramas and sketch shows for BBC Radio 4 and several sell-out theatre shows in Edinburgh and London.

​

As a fluent French-speaker, I also work as a translator, translating scripts, series bibles and treatments from French to English.  

​

If you're looking for a writer or translator for your project, or need someone to act as a creative consultant, please do get in touch. I'm always happy to talk things over or pitch ideas, and I'd love to be able to help...

"It's always been a delight to work with Gez. Not only is he extremely creatively talented, funny and understands his target audience, he is also great fun to work with."

"I've worked with Gez on multiple pre-school series. He's top of my list for any series I produce. His writing has a mixture of warmth and comedy that I love. He has so many great ideas, invents memorable characters and is collaborative in the writers' room. He's a joy to work with."
