Fraser Ayres

Fraser is an award-winning actor, writer and showrunner, whose work spans many genres and fields, from creating and showrunning five seasons of the hit panel show SORRY, I DIDN’T KNOW for ITV, to radio plays such as MAYNARD for BBC Radio 4 (directed by Kathy Burke), and SPACE IS THE PLACE, a 5 part dramatisation of the lives of Jazz greats to mark the 35th anniversary of Jazz FM. He’s currently developing an adult animation project with Idris Elba’s production company Green Door Productions and Netflix.

Other commissions include an original drama commission for UKTV, Idris Elba’s IN THE LONG RUN for Sky, EASTENDERS for the BBC, and CBBC sitcom LAGGING.

As an Executive Producer and Script Editor, Fraser has worked with the likes of Cormac McCarthy, and as CEO of the TriForce Creative Network and Dandi.org.uk he has supported hundreds of writers; working closely with them to deliver projects for commissioners and production companies such as Amazon Studios, Fremantle, Hat Trick and the BBC.

In more recent times, Fraser is a Reiki master, Yoga practitioner and an adept Oneironaut, with an unfathomably large collection of comics and Lego.
