Writers' Studio: Ayub Khan-Din and West is West

Post categories:

Fiona Mahon|16:45 UK time, Wednesday, 27 April 2011

We recently held a special Writers' Studio Q&A session with West is West writer, Ayub Khan Dinn.

Ayub answered questions from BBC writersrooms' Kate Rowland, and an invited audience of writers, about the challenges involved in writing the sequel to East is East and the inspiration behind his characters. He also talked about his transition from acting into writing, the strategies he uses when dealing with writer's block, and how he approaches working with a director and producer.

Watch the clips below for some highlights from the session:
