Carolynne has produced two one hour comedy horrors for BBC Scotland written and directed by Still Game’s Greg Hemphill, as well as a short comedy starring Frankie Boyle, and most recently produced a series of monologues on the theme of poverty for BBC 4 SKINT written and directed by UK-wide talent with lived experience of the issue.
