She worked with The Dawson Bros to create scripts for ‘Don’t Ask Me Ask Britain’ (comedy studio show for ITV), and ‘The Revengers’ (scripted comedy pilot for ITV), and most recently with Dan Gaster to write ‘Keeping Up With The Kremlin’ for C4 – she produced, directed, ran the writer’s room, and co-wrote (with comedians Steff Todd and Josh Jones) this scripted comedy pilot featuring deep fake tech.
Before that Anna wrote 20 episodes of ‘Meet The McQueens’, a kids scripted comedy with reality elements, which aired on CBBC in early 2023 (now currently on iplayer).
