One of the most prolific writers and creators working today, Steven Knight‘s body of work includes the likes of “Peaky Blinders,” “SAS: Rogue Heroes,” “House of Guinness,” “A Thousand Blows” and, most famously (even though it’s not even started filming), the next James Bond film.

But, as many might not be aware, his first major breakthrough in the industry was as one of the creators of global smash hit TV game show “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” in the late 1990s.
