A graduate of University College London (Bachelor) and Newnham College, Cambridge (Master of Letters), Sisson initially embarked on an academic career.
According to the playwright Simon Farquhar she is "one of television"s finest period storytellers."
As a writer for television she contributed scripts to Upstairs, Downstairs, Follyfoot, Together, The Irish Royal Marines and the episode of The Six Wives of Henry VIII concerning the King"s marriage to Catherine of Aragon. She also contributed to The Wind in the Willows (1984) animated television series and co-created The Bretts (1987-1988). Sisson has written historical fiction and plays.
A previously thought lost Theatre 625 production from 1966 of Sisson"s stage play The Queen and the Welshman (1958), concerning the affair of Henry V"s widow Catherine with Sir Owen Tudor, was found in 2010 to have been deposited with the Library of Congress.
