When Peter Cox dreamed up The Insiders Guide to Happiness as a young writer, he never thought it would be made into a TV series. But he was proved wrong when it became an award-winning drama, and even spawned a prequel. Cox found further screen success as co-creator of TV thriller The Cult and mockumentary The Pretender. His Australian goldmining drama New Gold Mountain followed in late 2021.
