Christopher Jeremy Sandford[2][3] (5 December 1930 – 12 May 2003) was an English television screenwriter who came to prominence in 1966 with Cathy Come Home, his controversial entry in BBC1's The Wednesday Play anthology strand, which was directed by Ken Loach. Later, in 1971, he wrote another successful one-off, Edna, the Inebriate Woman, for The Wednesday Play's successor series Play for Today.
He remained close to Nell Dunn, his first wife and the mother of his three much loved sons, Roc, Reuben and Jem. They and his second wife, Philippa, survive him.
