Great to see an exhibition opening tonight that made use of the space in Thames-Side Studios Gallery. This was Chimera, end of year show by artists from MASS Sculpture . Some lovely eye catching work. Especially the fab tree house created by my new BFF Jeremy with his fav graphic novel inside.

It’s a crowded old river Thames outside the #writing studio this afternoon. The large boat on the right is an old Mersey ferry that once hosted The Beatles. In the distance on the north shore is the sugar factory with its familiar tall towers. #london #photography

Great talk & book launch by Toby Hadoke at the BFI last night. His new book on TV’s Quatermass Experiment looking like the definitive story behind TV’s first SF classic. Nigel Kneale’s story has influenced so many other creators over the years. #tv #quatermass #books
