During his years as a producer in Leeds, Stuart Blackburn has been able to tell stories seen by millions of viewers

Stuart only found his passion for drama during a mid-course gap year when he directed a few shows for the children of Birmingham Youth Theatre. He said: “Those kids absolutely shamed me. Their passion for drama, that desire to tell their stories. It was like a light bulb moment. I just realized how lucky I was, and I was squandering my chances and chances that thousands of other working class kids didn't have.”He returned to university with a new passion for his subject.

Stuart began looking for ways to create change on a bigger scale and accepted a role as a television storyliner in the mid-1990s. He said: “It was just a letter that happened to be sent at the right time at the right place, and from that I work through so many different television shows. I was script editing for some, I was writing for others, and then ended up back at Emmerdale and got offered the job of producer there. Of course it's not pure luck, but it was never a career plan.
