Jason Beresford<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jason Beresford is the author of \u2018The Fabulous Four Fish Fingers\u2019, \u2018Frozen Fish Fingers\u2019 and \u2018Fish Fingers vs Nuggets\u2019, three laugh-out-loud books about a gang of superhero kids. He is also, at times, a teacher, bad ukulele player and a man who speaks Japanese with a Coventry accent. Jason is the first author to feature in our Meet the Author Project. He has kindly answered a few questions about books and his work as an author and would like to use this opportunity to say thank you<\/em><\/strong> to NHS staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before Jason became a children\u2019s author, he worked in television for over 20 years. This included a long stint as a reporter for the Japanese TV company TV Asahi where he helped cover Nelson Mandela\u2019s election as President in South Africa, the Rwandan refugee crisis, conflicts in Syria, Israel and across Europe. Jason also worked for the BBC in Coventry and Newcastle and for Tyne Tees TV where he was sent to join the army, he abseiled off Durham cathedral and he was attacked by a jackdaw that thought it was a dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jason went on to direct two of Britain\u2019s best loved soaps (Emmerdale and Coronation Street) and he produced many other TV shows. His memorable moments include reuniting the last surviving Oompah Loompas, crossing Britain on a lawn mower with John Sergeant and filming the party of the year at David Beckham\u2019s house (even though he spent the whole night stuck in the kitchen.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jason lives in Leeds and has two daughters who both think he is quite funny at the moment but he knows this won’t last much longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
