Robert began working in tv and film in the late 80s, when he produced Anthony Minghella’s first feature film, Truly Madly Deeply and became the BBC’s tv drama producer in Northern Ireland during The Troubles. He had previously..
……produced and directed plays for radio, starting in local radio in Liverpool where he directed Alan Bleasdale’s first play and radio series. He subsequently worked in BBC network radio in Manchester and Belfast.
Later, as the BBC’s head of drama in Northern Ireland, he commissioned and produced films and series from and about the island of Ireland, by writers of many backgrounds – work which ranged from the darkly funny, to the movingly sad, to the romantically joyous, to the shockingly violent.
As a producer, Robert remains constantly in awe of the chemistry of great writers with great actors, catalysed by the remarkable skills of imaginative filmmakers. He holds to the belief that drama has a rare, vicarious power to transport us into the lives of others.
Since 2004 Robert has worked with Kate Triggs as co-director of Great Meadow Productions, where he is glad to have contributed to series and films which have endeavoured to shed a fleeting light on human nature.
Great Meadow Productions was established by Kate Triggs and Robert Cooper in 2004, since when it has produced a wide range of tv drama from films and mini-series about real events – Bradford Riots, Margaret, The Long Walk to Finchley, Wodehouse in Exile, When Harvey Met Bob, The Trial of Christine Keeler – to the BAFTA-winning Room At The Top (Best Mini-Series), and the hugely popular Messiah crime thriller series which played to audiences of over 9 million in the UK and to US and international audiences through our co-producer Paramount International.
It is currently developing a new, popular medical tv series and a series about a high-profile sexual abuse case
