Lee Hall was born in Newcastle Upon Tyne in 1966 and studied English Literature at Cambridge University. He learned theatre at various Youth Theatres in the North East and Cambridge University. He has written for Radio, Theatre, television, Film and Opera, and wrote the screenplay of Billy Elliot.  He has been writer in residence at the Royal Shakespeare Company and Live Theatre, Newcastle Upon Tyne.

Sidney Aaron "Paddy" Chayefsky (January 29, 1923 – August 1, 1981) was an American playwright, screenwriter and novelist. He is the only person to have won three solo Academy Awards for writing both adapted and original screenplays.

He was one of the most renowned dramatists of the Golden Age of Television. His intimate, realistic scripts provided a naturalistic style of television drama for the 1950s, dramatizing the lives of ordinary Americans. Martin Gottfried wrote in All His Jazz that Chayefsky was "the most successful graduate of television's slice of life school of naturalism."
