About
Hello, I’m Tom Kingsley and I direct comedy, drama and comedy-drama. Amongst other things, I have a BAFTA and a cat that went viral. I’ve directed the first two series of Stath Lets Flats, Ghosts and Pls Like, all of which were nominated for at least one BAFTA, and then won between three and zero BAFTAs. Last year, I directed the second half of Adam Kay’s acclaimed medical drama This is Going to Hurt (six BAFTAs). This year, I’ve directed Gregg Wallace in “Channel 4’s most tasteless show ever” according to the Daily Mail, and also a special 60th Anniversary episode of Doctor Who, which Empire called “an instant classic… one of 2023’s finest hours of TV”.
I co-directed two feature films, the first of which - Black Pond - won the Evening Standard’s Best Newcomer award, and the second of which - The Darkest Universe - didn’t.
