Delighted to say that I’m joining Birmingham City University next month as a full time Lecturer in Filmmaking. Today I’ve been getting a little head start with a cheeky campus visit.

Bring on Birmingham and working with some future and developing filmmakers.

Beyond honoured to be asked to speak at We Have Ways Fest 2025. And amongst some absolutely incredible company!

When you’re co-writing a book about Mission Impossible, it’s only fair to see the new instalment with your writing partner! So @ericanela.bsky.social and her lovely husband left their native Nailsea and @amyclarke83.bsky.social and myself left London, to meet in the middle at Oxford.

I keep forgetting Bluesky exists. Is there a better way to remember and interact with others on here?

In F1 chat…how has Helmut Marko still got a job with Red Bull Racing?

Now the season is going again, loving @dirtysidepod.bsky.social. Great racing chat.

But just for Brian, here is David Coulthard hiding his Scottishness…

Does anybody have advice as to how to remember Bluesky? Moving from the other app to here has done something to my brain where I literally forget about this app and posting on it. But when I’m here I enjoy it.

At this point Drive To Survive is so fabricated with out of sequence editing, misleading narratives and staged discussion scenes, it’s less F1 documentary and more Keeping Up With The Car-dashians.

Wading into the @dirtysidepod.bsky.social debate. If it’s your first full season of F1 you are a rookie in my own opinion. You’ve not had the day to day of being an F1 driver which includes engineering side, media, improving your car because it’s your car etc etc. Ollie Bearman is 100% a rookie.

In our latest episode, we explore The Hartenstein Hotel, Divisional HQ of the British Airborne. Such an amazing place to look around.

And, as per the clip here, historian James Holland asks the questions that some leaders wouldn’t…

Finally catching up on the new @dirtysidepod.bsky.social. Let’s see what we’ve got…. (If you love F1 or are just getting to grips with the sport give it a listen)

Thanks to Royal Holloway, University of London for having me in to speak at their Creative Industries and Media Week. Such good questions from the students.

Met the resident Careers office cat, so double win!

Week 3 out of 11 of teaching at Birkbeck, University of London complete. What a brilliant experience it has been so far. The students have been really motivated and engaged. Next week they pitch the projects that they will be doing as the final assessment. Excited to see what they bring.

‘The pair are a testament to the power of hard work, with Georgia fighting her way up from the mean streets of a £23,000 per year private school and her future husband from an impoverished family with a net worth of £12m’ @heraldscotland.bsky.social nailing James Watt and Georgia Toffolo’s privilege

So glad to hear that @dirtysidepod.bsky.social are as annoyed by Big Brother Mohammed Ben Sulayem and his dictatorial rules as I am. #F1

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to co-write a book about a 1996 film that kicked off a franchise that ran for 3 decades. If you or your co-writer are captured or suffer writers block, the Publisher will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This post will self destruct in 5 seconds

My office…my classroom.

Someone did sort the chairs out before the students arrived.

Remember when you had a Nokia and how little you had to charge it? I’m pretty sure I have a 3210 that’s been left powered up in a drawer since 2002 which still has around 52% battery left.

I'm going to miss my daily dose of after work Squid Game. Who doesn't like their dinner with a side order of sweaty palms and tension??

Last year I worked hard to pivot the paid part of my career as a content producer into writing and teaching. And this year has started strong...I'm now Associate Lecturer at Birkbeck, University of London, and I'm just waiting on the contract for my first non-fiction book deal.

Britt Allcroft was truly one of a kind. When I was 12, she gave me a chance to be part of something that millions of children — as well as adults — love. Warm-hearted, funny, and kind, the English grandmother I never had. May her memory be a blessing. ❤️

Car people. Do motoring influencers erode real automotive journalism? I’ve started following some and I can’t get over the fact that they are all super bouncy and positive all the time, spouting extremely questionable ‘facts’.
