He went on to create Softly, Softly (1966–69), Softly, Softly: Taskforce (1969–76), Barlow at Large/Barlow (1971, 1973–75), Jack the Ripper (1973) and Second Verdict (1976). A prolific television drama writer from the early 1960s until the late 1970s; from 1963 to 1966, he was Head of Drama (Series) at the BBC, under Head of Drama Group Sydney Newman, the first person to hold that post after Newman divided the drama group into Series, Serials and Plays divisions.
