Carl Gorham is best known as the creator, co-writer and producer of the cult animated sitcom ‘Stressed Eric’ for BBC2. Broadcast in more than 20 countries, it was the first animated comedy series to be shown in primetime on NBC in the USA for 35 years. He also co-wrote, produced and voice-directed a 52 episode adaptation of the best-selling 'Meg and Mog' books for CITV; three of those scripts were published as books. He co-wrote primetime sitcoms 'Agony Again' starring Maureen Lipman (BBC1), 'Just A Gigolo' starring Tony Slattery for ITV, and, more recently, created and wrote the radio series ‘The Very Old Pretenders’ for BBC Radio 4 starring Rebecca Front and David Haig. His memoir ‘The Owl at The Window’ was published in February 2017 by Hodder and Stoughton and won the biography/memoir prize at the East Anglian Book Awards. Other awards include an Indie and two British Animation Awards. He has also been nominated for a BAFTA and a British Comedy Award. As a musician (drums), he is the leader of 'Shear Brass', a band dedicated to performing the music of his great uncle, jazz legend Sir George Shearing. Other members of the group have performed with the likes of Jools Holland, Van Morrison, Dave Brubeck and Quincy Jones. Shear Brass launched its debut album 'Celebrating Sir George Shearing' (Ubuntu Music) at Ronnie Scott's in London in 2013. Its second album is due for release in September 2015.
