Ah, there’s nothing I like better than to gather the family around me and watch my phone footage of fireworks displays from years gone by.

90 seconds in and we've already got Mr Blobby doing Riverdance. What a immense explosion of fun for a Saturday morning. 🤩
Saturday morning may be over, but (almost all of) the fun from Saturday 8 November 1997 is available on our YouTube channel.

Remember, remember… that I wrote an episode of Missy in which she makes sure the gunpowder plot *works* this time so she can install herself as Queen👑
(It was fun to write, this one.)

More than Ghostwatch, the finale of Paul Daniels: Live at Halloween 1987 scared the SHIT out of me as a kid.
The slam of the iron maiden, the horrifying silence, the voice of a floor manager asking everyone to leave. And then silent credits. Incredible television.

So many weird goings-on on the set of Leyline High...
Which rumour was the talk of your school? I remember hearing that there was a poltergeist haunting the studio where they filmed- and it repeatedly threw props at the actors. But it turned out to be a disgruntled floor manager.

Frog put the cookies in a box. “There,” he said. “Now we will not eat any more cookies.”
“But we can open the box,” said Toad.
“That is true,” said Frog.

Red Dwarf was a pretty big part of my life when I was growing up. It taught me so much about comedy writing. So it was an honour to be invited back onto the Better than Life podcast to talk about Out of Time, the final ep of series 6 & the last Grant/Naylor written episode.

Do give this whole ep a listen, it’s so interesting. I know we’re all eager to know what Who is on its way but there’s a really lovely story behind it.
