He moved to Australia in 1957 and wrote several early TV dramas as well as stage and radio plays. He returned to England in the mid 1960s.
He was a POW during World War II.
In 1955 when Kerr was a script editor for Associated Television he wrote that "a successful television play should have a strong contemporary story plus a subplot, preferrably of emotional entanglement. The story should be classifiable as a study of the peoples next door or, if the troubles are slightly unsavoury, of the people next door but one."
