About The Author
Tim Scott
Tim Scott is 43. He graduated from Cambridge University, England, and decided to use his hard fought education to work as a plasterer, decorator and delivery driver.
His writing career began with a training video which warned office staff that falling over could be dangerous. He then went on to write and appear on BBC Radio 4 in around fifty comedy half hours–and finally ended up being given his own late night comedy television series on network ITV. It ran for twenty six episodes and was so surreal that even Ionesco or Salvador Dali would have been shaking their heads in confusion.
