ASHLEY PHAROAH:  Ashley joined BBC flagship soap "EastEnders" in 1991 and over 4 years contributed over 40 episodes as well as playing a key role in storylining the show. In 1995 he helped to set up the BBC hit drama series "Silent Witness" and over on ITV he was co-creating and writing "Where The Heart Is" - a show that was to prove a ratings success for 10 years. Ashley's knack for generating audience-pleasing family drama continued with BBC One's "Down To Earth" which starred Warren Clarke and Pauline Quirke and most recently he is topping the ratings on ITV with "Wild At Heart" starring Amanda Holden and Stephen Tompkinson. "Wild At Heart" is being remade for the CW Network in the United States.

Ashley has two recent adaptations to his name, "Tom Brown’s Schooldays" for Company Pictures (starring Stephen Fry and Alex Pettyfer) and "Under The Greenwood Tree" for Ecosse Films (starring Keeley Hawes). Ashley co-created "Life On Mars" with Matthew Graham and Tony Jordan and has written for both series of the acclaimed show. "Life On Mars" is also being reformatted for the US, with David E Kelly at the helm. In September 2006 he co-founded Monastic Productions with Matthew Graham.
