Derek Benfield, the son of a journalist, was born in Bradford. When Wild Goose Chase was produced in London in 1954, it marked the beginning of run of hilarious hits. Post Horn Gallop, Running Riot and Off The Hook were performed by The Players in the '60s and '70s.

As well as writing for radio, Derek Benfield is also a successful actor, being well known for his role of Bill Riley in the BBC series The Brothers and more recently as Patricia Routledge's husband in Hetty Wainthrop Investigates.
