Paul is an experienced writer for film and television.

One of the UK's leading writers of children's TV, he was the co-creator and lead-writer of Almost Never, 4 O'Clock Club, Dani's House and Dani's Castle for CBBC. He has also written extensively for adults - including Sky One's Stella, and EastEnders.

Previously, he has written sitcom pilots starring the likes of Dylan Moran, Maxine Peake, Mark Heap, Marc Wootton and Ingrid Oliver.

​He has a number of projects in development. 

He has been nominated for a BAFTA three times, including for Best Writer at the 2017 BAFTA Children's Awards - and won a Sony Radio Academy Award for his work on the Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show. In 2015, his Christmas special for the 4 O'Clock Club won Best Children's Fiction at the Royal Television Society Awards. Most recently, Almost Never has been nominated as Best Children's Show in the 2022 Broadcast Awards. 

In a previous life, writing under the name Mr Biffo, Paul was one of the UK's top video games journalists, editing the legendary teletext video games magazine Digitiser, and writing a monthly column in Edge magazine. He is a regular columnist in Retro Gamer.

In 2017 he successfully crowdfunded Mr Biffo's Found Footage, a surreal and anarchic sci-fi comedy series for YouTube, which culminates in an ambitious 20-minute short film, which he wrote and directed.

In 2018 he ran another successful Kickstarter, raising almost £45,000 to produce another online series, Digitiser The Show - an ambitious six-part comedy panel show focusing on the history of video games. It marked his first on-screen appearance as a presenter. In 2021, he raised almost £75,000 to produce a second series of Digitiser The Show. 

He continues to present videos on the Digitiser channel, as well as co-host a weekly podcast. He has staged three sell-out live comedy events, based upon Digitiser.
