Paul Marquess Biography

Paul Marquess is one of the most popular and richest Television Producer who was born on June 23, 1964 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom.

Marquess began his career in 1996, as a storyliner on Coronation Street, before developing and producing various other dramas for Granada television. He then landed a job as series producer on Brookside, working alongside Phil Redmond. During that time, Marquess conceived the idea for Footballers’ Wives, originally entitled “Cheshire Wives”. Marquess felt it lacked a hook until he saw Victoria Beckham on TV.

In 2002, Marquess took over as executive producer of The Bill, with a clear brief from network bosses at ITV to shift the series away from stand-alone episodes to a more serialised format, in an attempt to attract a younger demographic. The move caused controversy amongst many die-hard fans after Marquess fired a number of veteran actors and introduced more sensational storylines, which explored issues such as serial murder, gang rape and domestic violence.

In 2012, Marquess co-created the police procedural series, Crime Stories (initially entitled “True Crime”) with writers Steve Hughes and Darren Fairhurst,. The series was made by Marquess’s new production company, Newman Street, and was radical in its approach. Although heavily storylined, each episode was entirely unscripted, allowing the actors to improvise the dialogue. Set almost entirely in a police station, Crime Stories was filmed as though a documentary crew were following two CID officers as they investigated a standalone case each week. The show’s cast included Jane Antrobus, a recently retired Detective Chief Superintendent from the Greater Manchester Police, in her first screen role to play Detective Inspector Jane Preston, alongside soap actor Ben Hull as sidekick DS Ben Shaw.
