Mark Wallington (born 1953) is an English writer, perhaps most famous for his humorous "Boogie" travelogues,[1] both serialised on BBC Radio Four.
Born in Swanage, he was working as a gardener in North London in 1979 when he began his writing career working with Dick Fiddy, submitting sketches to Not the Nine O'clock News and Dave Allen at Large.
In 1982 Wallington walked the South West coast path with his urban dog, Boogie.
In 1991 Wallington published a novel, The Missing Postman, and then scripted the TV series of the same name starring James Bolam.
Wallington's further TV work includes Station Jim (2001) and The Man Who Lost His Head (2007).
