Catherine Williams, Script writer/editor, Series Creator

After a short stint in ‘grown up’, Catherine soon realised she was far more attuned to kids TV and has been regressing ever since… By now she is a prolific, successful script writer/editor and series creator, specialising in pre-school. She has an impressive list of multi award-winning, top-rated and much loved credits, including Chip and Potato (Netflix), Waffle the Wonder Dog, Topsy+Tim, and the New Teletubbies (all on Cbeebies), Pocoyo, PJ Masks, and most recently, Lovely Little Farm (Apple TV).
