Mr. Biffo, real name Paul Rose, was the editor of the Teletext-based video games magazine Digitiser, which ran between 1993 and 2003. He has written for numerous magazines, including Empire, Total Film, .net, Official PlayStation Magazine and Deathray, Retrogamer, and continues to write a monthly column (entitled Biffovision) in Edge.

He is now a successful scriptwriter for television, working on children's shows such as Barking!, The Worst Witch, Sooty, My Parents Are Aliens, and a number of adult comedy shows, including the new series of Armstrong and Miller and Lenny Henry.tv for BBC1, as well as UK soap operas such as Crossroads and EastEnders. He also devised the storyline for the multiple format game Future Tactics. [1] He was nominated for a BAFTA award in 2004 for Best Children's Drama[2], and has won a Sony Radio Academy Award for his writing on the Christian O'Connell breakfast show on XFM. [3]

Rose has written a book entitled Confessions of a Chatroom Freak and a number of television pilots (one of which was entitled Biffovision, co-written with Tim Moore).

In November 2007 Rose travelled to Guyana as part of an expedition with the Centre for Fortean Zoology. He has said he is writing a book about monster hunters, but has yet to elaborate. He continues to develop a sitcom for BBC1, and is working on a number of shows for BBC3.

Rose is married with three children, and lives in North London.
