Dean Wilkinson

“Dean is a very talented, clever, diligent, funny, imaginative and creative writer. We worked together on a project where he was called upon to use incredible ingenuity and skill to make a long and repetitive script seem fresh and original. He did this quite brilliantly. His mind fizzes with ideas and inventiveness. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.”


Stephen Fry, Actor, Writer, Broadcaster, London

"Probably the best international writer in the world. Overflowing with brilliant ideas, humour and family values."

"Dean is a joy to work with. Not only is he a brilliant writer he's also an all round good guy who brings a wealth of experience to any project and I would heartily recommend him anyone!"


Alaw Roberts, Little Lamb Media, Cardiff, Wales

"Dean Wilkinson is a talented and genuinely funny writer. I enjoyed working with Dean recently on one of our development shows where he was a constant source of crazy and hilarious ideas. Dean brings a wealth of experience in writing for children and a uniquely humorous angle on any original premise. He’s a good guy and he’s fun to work with and I can’t recommend him more highly."


Owen Stickler, Dinamo Productions, Cardiff, Wales

"When it comes to adding fun and originality to both concepts and scripts , Dean is an ideal person to have involved with a project. He is adaptable, agreeable and understands what is required and delivers every time. His hilarious and wacky writing style will add benefits to any project and we are very happy to recommend his work."

Joel & Simon Benson, The Merryweathers, London, England

“Dean is a fantastic writer in the great British tradition of Douglas Adams, mixing the absurd and the mundane with fantastic results. It was great working with someone who has so many original ideas but is always ready to try something new and challenging at the drop of a hat.”


Nik Holmes, Artist & Cartoonist (Moshi Monsters)

“I first worked with Dean when I needed a creative comedy writer to bring life to tutorial scripts for LittleBigPlanet – to be voiced by Stephen Fry. Not only did Dean make dry technical material funny, he tapped into Fry’s style, not only impressing the client and all of us here at the studio but the man himself. It was a pleasure to sign him up as a Sidelines writer and I’ve had great fun representing him for games writing ever since. He’s brought character to shrubbery (really!), livened up sports commentary and continues to work on new game titles. His extensive experience in the media industry cannot be denied, writing for Ant & Dec, Noel Edmonds, Disney, CBBC, Aardman and Harry Hill amongst others; and winning numerous awards along the way, including a BAFTA. I’m proud to represent him as a games writer and can’t wait to see what next wacky publication will adorn my bookshelf!”
Sini Downing, Game Writers Agency Director, Sidelines

“Dean is a highly Creative writer who can think "outside the box" and give something extra special to a project. In a time of very safe and formulaic projects this is a quality I hugely admire. Not only that he is very versatile and funny!”

“In a large bowl, mix together a smidgeon of Python, oodles of Cook and Moore, a helping of Merton, a dash of Milligan and a soupçon of young(ish) Clement Freud. Marinade for forty something years and serve with a sprig of Dr Who. That's Dean Wilkinson. Dean worked for me as a freelance and also employed, at the beginning of his writing career creating scripts, features and articles for 'Smut', an adult comic. His humour is dry, subtle, intelligent, often surreal and sharply delivered. I don't understand any of it. But I went to a comprehensive and he went to Eton. Probably.”


Tom Fulep, ARF Cartoons & Fulep Graphics

“We are working with Dean at present and we are so impressed by the number and quality of ideas he has and the eagerness to move them forward to succeed. He doesn't seem to stop when it comes to his first love, comedy writing for kids. It’s that passion which makes him stand out from the crowd. A genuine nice guy, we have already recommended him to others and look forward to working with him more in the future.”
