Dominic Minghella (born 1966) is a British television producer and screenwriter. His most successful project has been the creation of the ITV network comedy-drama series Doc Martin, starring Martin Clunes, which began in 2004. The main character's surname, Ellingham, is an anagram of the Minghella family name. Minghella was also the chief writer and show runner of BBC One's 2006 production Robin Hood, produced independently for the BBC by Tiger Aspect Productions. He has also written for Hamish Macbeth, starring Robert Carlyle.

Family

He is the brother of the late Anthony Minghella, so Max Minghella is his nephew and Hannah Minghella his niece; both of whom work in movies. Dominic's son, Dante, appeared on the 2006 Channel 4 programme Child Genius. {{Citation needed|date=April 2011}} He read PPE at Merton College, Oxford.[1] His sister Edana Minghella co-wrote 4 episodes of Doc Martin.

Career

As a child, Minghella starred in the first film his brother Anthony directed, A Little Like Drowning.

Dominic Minghella was producer of the 2012 adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's novel, The Scapegoat, directed by Charles Sturridge and starring Matthew Rhys.

Minghella was lead writer and executive producer of the BBC One series Robin Hood for the first two seasons, overseeing 26 episodes and several of the place names used in the series were directly taken from place names on his native Isle of Wight. He is also show runner of the upcoming American historical drama Knightfall.

In December 2018, as British Prime Minister Theresa May struggled to convince Parliament to support her Brexit agreement with the European Union, Minghella wrote and directed a three-minute political short 'The People's Vote', starring Andy Serkis in a parody of May as the two faces of his Gollum-Sméagol character, alternately coveting her 'precious' exit document and (less strongly) considering her duty to the British people, as support for a further referendum on the divisive issue.[2] The short's credits also include Minghella's children Louisa Minghella as assistant producer and Dan Minghella as script editor.[3]
