Andrew worked for BBC Television as the Script Editor on CASUALTY and three seasons of DOCTOR WHO, during which time he was responsible for "the Cartmel Master Plan" which rebooted the series, making it darker and more mysterious and paved the way for the highly successful revival of recent years. He was also script editor and lead writer on DARK KNIGHT for Five and has written a number of novels. He's performed as a stand up comedian and was a finalist in the Nicotinell Comedy Tour in 2007. His stage plays, produced on the London fringe, include END OF THE NIGHT and UNDER THE EAGLE, hailed by Time Out as 'bitingly funny'. He is completing a new series of crime novels and is co-writing the first of a series of graphic novels called BODY WORKS, together with Ben Aaronovitch, based on his best-selling RIVERS OF LONDON books.

Under the Eagle

Synopsis:
Opens with anti-establish-ment stand-up Vi riffing on the mysterious role Britain played in the transportation of Uncle Sam's dirty little secrets, before she is literally bundled offstage to spend the weekend with the Prime Minister and his wife. What's more, the US president, an ice-in-the-veins female jets in to talk shop, accompanied by prudish chief of staff Chip, whose knockabout exchanges with opposite number, nailing charmful menace) are bitingly funny, especially when conversation turns to 'intelligent design'. discussion centres on the fate ofa typical prisoner, codenamed amex (lots of charges, geddit). When Hugo and Vi concoct their own special relationship, the Americans hilariously reveal a great loathing for sexual congress. This is a more imaginative alternative to the familiar account of the transAtlantic poodle/master dynamic and all the better for it.
