Paul Abbott (born 22 February 1960) BAFTA award-winning English television screenwriter and producer. Abbott has become one of the most critically and commercially successful television writers working in Britain today, following his work on many popular series, including Coronation Street, Cracker and Shameless, the last of which he created. He is also responsible for the creation of some of the most highly acclaimed television dramas of the 1990s and 2000s, including Reckless and Touching Evil for ITV and Clocking Off and State of Play for the BBC.
Born into a dysfunctional Burnley family, Paul Abbott is the seventh of eight children. When he was nine his mother left home to pursue a relationship with another man (with a child around Abbott's own age); his father, who Abbott describes as having been "bone idle", departed two years later. His mother had supported the family from three jobs. Abbott and his siblings were in the care of their pregnant seventeen-year-old sister. His father didn't claim benefits for the family, for fear of alerting social services to their abandonment. Although a compulsive truant, Abbott cites his English teacher at Barden High School as an early positive influence.
During #KeeleGraduation Winter 2015 screenwriter and producer Paul Abbott was awarded an honorary degree of Doctor of Letters in recognition of his national and international contribution to screen-writing and production for television drama. His creations include Touching Evil, Linda Green, and in 2003 the acclaimed political thriller State of Play brought him to the attention of Hollywood, where it was remade as a movie, starring Russell Crowe. Then came the multi-award winning, semi-autobiographical series Shameless, which ran for eleven series in the UK and was remade in the US. Following the award of his honorary degree, Paul took part in an hour long Question and Answer session in the Chancellor's Building. Attended by 100 people and hosted by Dr Beth Johnson who has carried ou...
