Sarah Phelps Lands First ITV Drama
Sarah Phelps has landed ITV drama 'Daughter' with Dominic Treadwell-Collins after winning a BAFTA for 'The Sixth Commandment'.
One of the BBC’s most prolific modern screenwriters is penning Daughter for the commercial broadcaster from Dominic Treadwell-Collins’ Happy Prince, with the news coming just a fortnight after Phelps won a BAFTA for The Sixth Commandment. ITV commissioning editor Helen Ziegler labeled the scribe “an extraordinary voice of our times,” while Treadwell-Collins called her “one of our greatest contemporary screenwriters.” She is coming off the back of a Best Mini-Series BAFTA win for explosive factual drama The Sixth Commandment about the deaths of Peter Farquhar and Ann Moore-Martin in a sleepy town in the UK, which also won Timothy Spall Best Actor.
