Brian Clemens
Screenwriter & Producer
Friday 26th June 2009
Brian Clemens is a screenwriter and television producer, possibly best known for his work on The Avengers and The Professionals. (He is related to Mark Twain, incidentally).
Starting his career as a young junior at the J. Walter Thompson advertising agency, and subsequently a copywriter, he had a thriller screenplay accepted and shot by BBC TV - Valid for Single Journey Only (1955). This brought him to the attention of independent, low-budget movie producers the Danziger brothers. From the mid-1950s onwards, he was a staff writer for the Danzigers, churning out dozens of quickie scripts for assembly-line 'B' movies and half-hour television series such as Mark Saber, White Hunter, Man From Interpol and Richard The Lionheart. However, he also wrote for ITC's thriller series The Invisible Man, Sir Francis Drake and Danger Man...
