Roy is one of only four writers ever to have received a personal BAFTA in recognition of his special contribution to children’s television. For ten years, he wrote for the award winning children's drama series, Byker Grove. Here his first job was to devise a story to 'write-out' the two main characters, PJ and Duncan, played by Ant and Dec!
As well as Byker Grove, Roy has written and contributed to many other television programmes such as Chucklevision and The Ghost Hunter, which won The Radio Times' Most Popular Children's Television Programme poll.
