She also wrote one whole joke for the BAFTA award winning Harry Hill's TV Burp. She is known for her dark and idiosyncratic writing and was the holder of the BBC Radio writers bursary 2006-2007. Ward also featured on Newswipe with Charlie Brooker for BBC Four. For children, Ward has written on Danger Mouse and Minnie The Minx.[2]

Ward created the BBC Radio 4 comedy panel show 'Dilemma', which ran for four series 2011-15 and was hosted by Sue Perkins. Danielle appeared several times as a guest on the show.[4]
