BiographyJames Wood is a British screenwriter.

Wood is perhaps best known for his writing on the BBC adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's Decline and Fall and as a writer and creator of Quacks. When asked how it felt to be the first to take on Waugh's classic novel, Wood replied: "It's a scary thing to do because it’s such a loved book. Lots of people think it's the greatest comic novel in English fiction. So that's the challenge - living up to expectations." Both Decline and Fall and Quacks were well received.

Wood won the 2012 BAFTA for Rev. under the category of Best Situation Comedy.
