Introduction pinned post! I'm mostly a screenwriter, wrote the movies Severance, Cockneys Vs Zombies, Tower Block, and TV episodes of Doctor Who, Torchwood, Spooks, Primeval, Crossing Lines, Dave Spud, and more. Several Doctor Who audios for Big Finish, with more on the way, and 3 Commando comics.
The first two movies are TOP TIER bonkers horror, huge amounts of “holy shit they went there” fun, and I cannot WAIT for part 3:
Isabelle Fuhrman will return as modern horror icon Esther in the upcoming ORPHAN 3, and filming is now underway.
William Brent Bell is back to direct with David Coggeshall returning to write the screenplay.

Love playing the fun anxiety morning game of “am I smelling toast from a nearby house or cafe, or am I about to have a seizure and die immediately”

Leverage always had fun with these kind of things, their clever plans coming up against reality, like the one where they give Eliot a USB drive to plug into a server, only to find it uses cassette tape storage…
I’m abandoning my heist script, what’s the point anymore

It's hard to believe, but 2025 means Romanitas has been in print for 20 years. A modern world where the Roman Empire never fell. If that sounds good to you, the ebook's just £0.99 for the anniversary all this month! www.amazon.co.uk/Romanitas-1-...

I know nothing about Dr Who, but, for Londoners, the phrase "Going For Dinner With Billie Piper" is the absolute best way to remember the order of the vertical streets running east to west in Soho (Greek, Frith, Dean, Wardour, Berwick, Poland) and has saved many a late night out

This is always correct:
All your plans to 'save' Doctor Who sound shit by the way

Americans want to watch charismatic people solve moderately difficult problems on a weekly basis. That’s it. And a group of fomo execs and techbros who don’t watch TV drove one of the most profitable industries in the US off a cliff rather than accept that.
Look what happenes when a TV show releases every year, with more than 8 episodes a season.

1982: I wrote Alien Attack, my first game, on an Atari 400, in BASIC. It had a custom character set for the alien (one at a time) and your spaceship. I advertised it in the Popular Computing Weekly classifieds for £5, for a week. Not much of a campaign. I sold zero copies.
