One of my favourite Who projects to date. And Matthew (aka my beloved Adric) was brilliant in it.
Delighted that the highly successful audio serial DOCTOR WHO: HOOKLIGHT is shortlisted for an Audie award for Best Adaptation/Original Work. The Audies are the Oscars of audio so it's a big deal! Congrats to all, especially @verbatimfoley.bsky.social who wrote it. The awards are in NewYork in March.

I just found a script signed by Jacqueline Pearce in a second-hand bookshop in Montpellier, France! The world may be on fire but there are still some joys hidden away on dusty shelves

An atmospheric, edge-of-your-seat experience.

Theatre Bluesky - can you help us out? We’re seeking real-life stories from costume and wardrobe, for a behind-the-scenes piece for Exeunt.

So – what’s your best costume malfunction anecdote? The funniest mishap with mistaken or missing items? Your yuckiest story about bodily fluids…?

I enjoyed this a lot. Proper hard sci-fi with a nice satirical edge, while also a proper well-constructed whodunit. Recommended!

Listened to this today and very much enjoyed it.

"Was it the right thing to do to come to Mars? Is this some great and noble voyage of discovery? Of course it isn't. It's about ego, vested interest, ignoring the problems back on earth. And most of all it's about money."
