Old enough to know better. Stupid enough to care about it. Daft enough to keep on doing it anyway. Creates VISION ON SOUND for FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL, and draws a bit 😀

Ah… Another day, another timeline crammed full of macabre AI generated videos of actors from long ago sitting next to their dead selves… Bloody hell, they’re annoying (and more than a little distasteful…)

I’m always comforted that an actor who is in “Das Cabinet des Dr.Caligari” is also in “Casablanca” - somehow that matters to me 🙂

The writing project that stalled at just over 10,000 words last March has, with rewrites, today crept over the 13,000 mark.

Z Cars: “People’s Property” despite the plot being about youth crime and failings of the system, blah, blah, it was kind of glorious as a nostalgia-fest with a huge amount of location work showing all those lost worlds. Possibly my favourite of the TPTV b/w run so far 🙂

I spent a couple of hours today revisiting a piece of writing I put down ten months ago and hadn’t worked on since.
Reading it through, I even managed to surprise myself with one unexpected scene I’d written, so that was interesting.
