I got an import TV series called Gold.

In the opening credits it shows the following.

Gold
(Next Screen) by Chris Hampson

in another episode is has:
by Dean Parker

Other than that there is no other credits in the opening sequence. In the end credits all the other credits are shown, but no writing credits

I haven't gone through all the episodes yet, but are these writers?
And would they get credited?

They might be Writers.  They might be [Executive] Producers.

Based on what you wrote i'd leave them out.
Bad movie?  You're soaking in it!

So it looks like a case where no writers are credited.

Rare... but happens sometimes. Especially if it is an old series on a bargain label. I seen on some cheap DVDs I gotten where the credits are completely cut off.

While I agree that they can't be entered, due to the way they are credited, I have done some research...Chris Hampson is a producer and Dean Parker is a screenwriter.

In British TV shows, using "<show name> by" to indicate the writer is fairly commonplace, and from what I've seen, those are consistently being entered as writers in DVD Profiler.
