I'd love to write for you following #TV success with Waffle's After School Club (BBC) & Hollyoaks! Jack Thorne called me "a tremendous talent". I've written for BAFTA winners, developed my own shows with major #ProductionCompanies, + am commissioned to adapt a Penguin Books novel. ✍️

I am so heartbroken, especially NOW that we need Peter's spirit more than ever. There are reasons his films stay relevant & never age: because those who deny history's harsh truths are doomed to repeat, exacerbate or witness them in the present. Peter is a huge influence on me.
Peter Watkins obituary: radical British filmmaker behind The War Game and Punishment Park
The maverick filmmaker and pioneer of the docudrama, whose anti-establishment works redefined political cinema and challenged the very language of mass media, has died aged 90.

Banned Books Week… so here’s LLAMA GLAMARAMA by me and Garry Parsons - banned in some places in the US because it *checks notes* “promotes a social justice agenda.”
It’s about a llama who likes dancing.

@robthor.bsky.social Hello Robert,
How are you? 😊
I don't know if you remember, but we met and spoke last year while you were signing at Chiltern (you and Jane Casey were both so lovely to me). I enjoyed your talk so much today, but sadly did not get the chance to salute you with greetings.

Another week on the USA Today Bestseller list! It's so very, very thrilling to know that so many Americans want to spend time with Judith (and therefore, by proxy, my Grandma Betty, Great Aunt Jess, and all of my other dotty female relatives who are in Judith's DNA). Go Team Marlow!
