Kit Lambert

I am a scriptwriter for television and theatre. I completed both my BA (English Studies) and MA (Creative Writing) courses at Exeter, where I was also an active part of the Exeter University Theatre Company. It was definitely where I started my journey as a writer. Now based in South Wales, I am currently Executive Producer and Lead Writer on a new drama series for BBC Studios and Britbox US called ‘The Detection Club’, which is filming in Summer/Autumn 2026. Previous writing credits include Cooper & Fry, Death in Paradise, Casualty, and Father Brown. I have always loved writing drama and television is an exciting, collaborative industry to be involved in.
