Steve Coombes obituary

My husband, Steve Coombes, who has died aged 64 of cancer, was a professional screenwriter, respected and admired by producers and his colleagues for tackling challenging subject matter with honesty and humour. He will be best remembered for his original 2004 BBC television series Outlaws, produced by World Productions and staring Phil Daniels as an ambulance-chasing solicitor, which was nominated for a Bafta award.
