Biography
Derren Ronald Litten is a British comedy writer, actor, and director best known for creating Benidorm, the ITV sitcom that debuted in 2007 and ran for 10 series until 2018. The show follows holiday makers and staff at the all-inclusive Solana resort in Benidorm and achieved strong ratings, later extending its runtime. Litten co-wrote The Catherine Tate Show, in which he performed several characters in the first two series and the 2005 Christmas special. His acting credits span a wide range of comedy and drama: Perfect World, French and Saunders, Spaced, EastEnders, Coronation Street, and Pie in the Sky with Richard Griffiths. Beyond Benidorm, he wrote episodes of Not Going Out and The Green Green Grass, an Only Fools and Horses spin-off. He also penned a remake of Are You Being Served? that featured three cast members who had appeared in Benidorm—Sherrie Hewson, John Challis, and Niky Wardley—though the episode was poorly received by critics. Born 21 December 1970 in England, Litten embodies the Sagittarius trait of expansive narrative ambition, with a life-path number 5 reflecting his restless creative evolution across genres. As an actor and writer, he combines performance with behind-the-scenes storytelling, a dual role common in British comedy production.
