Paul Tucker was born in Leicester, whose unconventional background includes being thrown out of school (where he was branded illiterate), has had a variety of jobs before settling down to writing. these range from pork pie filler to Santa Claus in Lewis' Christmas grotto. Drawn into Leicester Ecstasy-crazed rave culture and to the violence of the football terraces (he joined the notorious 'Baby Squad' gang), Paul began writing upon the advice that his nose-dive style of living would land him "either in a hospital bed or a prison cell" unless he found other 'creative pastimes'. At 17, Paul had his first Working Title produced: A GREAT DAY FOR MAKING FRIENDS. His first stage play HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN was produced at the Royal Court Theatre Upstairs in February 1991. He was commissioned to write for Carlton TV in 1994 a short 30 minute teleplay FINAL MOMENTS (nominated as Best Teleplay 1995 by the Writer's Guild of Great Britain). His third play the LAST YELLOW was produced at the Chelsea Centre in October 1996, will go on tour in 1997 and has been optioned for a feature film. Paul is currently under commission to the National Theatre Studio.
