I made this film about 'time tourists' eight years ago.
Kinda scary how it's becoming more, not less, relevant.

Happy 40th birthday EastEnders!
No other TV show has had such a profound impact on my life.
Without it, I wouldn't have the friends, the career or the self-awareness that I have now.

While I await feedback from the composer on the new songs for 'Fairlight', I'm getting stuck into a spec pilot script for my TV drama series 'Bliss'.
Feeling slightly daunted, but also excited.
This is the fun bit. :)

Last night I had a lovely evening at the Criterion Theatre in Coventry, enjoying readings of four short plays, including my own 'No Place Like Home'.
What a lovely bunch of people.
Keeping my fingers crossed I make the final selection for this year's Springboard festival in May.

Had a lovely morning giving a workshop to 13/14 year olds at a school in Shrewsbury.
I'm always amazed by their creativity and imagination - I want to steal ALL their stories!

'A Real Pain' is a brilliant film.
Thought provoking and moving, and manages to be both beautifully simple as well as deep and complex.
I was very affected by it. I'm going to be sitting with it for quite a while.
Highly recommended - but take tissues.

Enjoyed a couple of hours in the Birmingham Hippodrome's artists' lounge today.
It feels very right to be writing about Harry Gem with a view of the Thorp Street Drill Hall, once the home of the 1st Warwickshire Rifles, the volunteer militia that he founded.

Just finished writing Harry's funeral song.
Is it weird to be a bit sad about the death of a character who is largely a fictional creation based loosely on a man who died over 140 years ago?
