WRITING
Alistair wrote a play set in a voiceover studio called Timing which was nominated for Best Comedy at the whatsonstage.com awards in 2010. He also wrote the book How To Wean Your Man Off Football (with Ronni Ancona) about his own addiction to 'The Beautiful Game'.

He script-edited and wrote seventy per cent of the sketches for his own BAFTA-winning series The Big Impression and co-wrote two episodes of the drama series Mayo for BBC1 (in which he also starred in the title role).
