Ciaran Murtagh

Ciaran Murtagh is a BAFTA, Writers Guild and British Animation Award winning writer.

Andy Stanton thinks 'Ciaran is one of the funniest people I know!' And Andy Stanton knows at least two people...

His is the author of over 50 books and he also writes TV shows. Recently he has been involved with scripting The Amazing World of Gumball, Super Happy Magic Forest, Shaun the Sheep, Mr Bean and Danger Mouse.

He lives in Broadstairs with his wife and two of his three children. The other one's grown up, it's not that she doesn't like him... He is an unapologetic fan of the music of a-ha and still sucks his thumb. It is unclear which of these two facts is more embarrassing to his friends and family.
