Biography
Nicole Taylor most recently wrote BBC One's three-parter Three Girls about the Rochdale grooming scandal, which
opened to outstanding reviews and a powerful audience response. “Searingly compelling drama” – TheTimes- “This is what TV is for." “TV with this kind of power and significance is rare today – telling, or asking us something about ourselves, in the Cathy Come Home tradition – and to see it three nights running in prime time on BBC One is astonishing” – The Herald. It averaged a consolidated audience of 8.1 million on BBC1 and more than 9.3 million requests for the series were made on BBC iPlayer.
Prior to that Nicole’s multi-BAFTA nominated single drama The C Word, was produced for BBC1 and starred Sheridan Smith.
Previously Nicole has written on numerous series, including Indian Summers for Channel 4, The Hour for BBC2 and Ashes to Ashes for BBC1.
Her original feature Country Music is currently in production in Glasgow, directed by Tom Harper and produced by Faye Ward, with backing from BFI, Creative Scotland and Film Four and starring Julie Walters, Jessie Buckley and Sophie Okonedo.
