His career began as a producer for BBC Radio where he worked on perennial favourites the News Quiz and Week Ending before creating his own comedy shows Saturday Night Fry with Stephen Fry and Whose Line Is It Anyway?

Dan also created and produced Clive Anderson Talks Back (Channel 4), Clive Anderson All Talk (BBC One), S and M (Channel 4), The Brain Drain (BBC Two), Never Mind The Horrocks (Channel 4), and Dan co-wrote sitcom The Peter Principle (BBC One). In addition, Dan developed and produced Room 101 for BBC Two and was involved in the development of They Think It’s All Over for BBC One. In 1998 Dan took Whose Line Is It Anyway? to America, producing it for ABC Television where the episode that guest starred Robin Williams attracted an audience of over 15 million people. When Dan returned from the States in 2004, he established Angst Productions and, with Mark Leveson, created the hit satirical panel show Mock The Week which has completed 21 successful series over 17 years. Other Angst Productions shows have included 29 Minutes Of Fame (BBC One), the improvisation based Fast and Loose (BBC Two), Trust Us With Your Life (ABC) and The Great American Joke Off (The CW).

But the really important thing is that, as a teenager, he went to Habonim Dror.
