Philip was a writer who worked in all aspects of drama including plays and series for mainstream TV. A commission by the BBC to research the Birmingham underworld resulted in his original  two hour film for BBC1, “Gangsters”. This led to a further commission for two subsequent six part series that featured groundbreaking techniques that prompted the Open University to feature his work on their study list. As well as series work such as three episodes  of “Dr. Who”, Philip had productions of his stage plays at the National Theatre, the Royal Court Theatre, the Traverse Theatre in  Edinburgh, the  Liverpool Playhouse and his local theatre, The Duke’s Playhouse, Lancaster. Philip wrote numerous crime adaptations and original plays for Radio 3 and 4, including  “Dead Soldiers”, voted best radio play of the year.
