Also, here's my Dad with a treacle-eating boggart back when he produced the original The Treacle People TV series, along with me and the cast in the studio when we recorded last may! We all had a wonderful time. I think Dad would have loved it.

Directed and produced an indie full-cast comedy audio drama about treacle mining as a tribute to my late Dad! It's on Audible now and is extremely silly - think The Goon Show, Hancock's Half Hour, etc. Would love it if you fancy dropping a credit on it?

Tech rec: Logitech G203 Prodigy Wired Gaming Mouse 🎮
This is my mouse. I love it very much. I never trust those wireless ones - and I shouldn't have to recharge my mouse, that's silly. It has a nice weight, it's comfy to hold, and has 2 extra side clicky bois (all you need).

Movie rec: Wicked Little Letters (2023) 🎬
Saw this the other day - cracking film. More of a drama than a comedy imo, brutal as often as it is funny. Thursday Murder Club vibes. Every time you think you've figured out what it's trying to say, it adds a new layer. Great cast.

TV show rec: Staged (2020-2022) 📺
Originally released during the lockdowns, this is still brilliant in 2024. Three seasons of nonsense, featuring David Tennant and Michael Sheen as heightened versions of themselves. Clever, meta and very funny. Well worth a watch!

Silly name aside, this is excellent. The new Shadow part is exactly what I wanted, with a great story and surprisingly decent length. The remastered Sonic section holds up very well, with new writing and voice acting. Much fun!

TV show rec: His Dark Materials (2019) 📺
Awesome adaptation of the Philip Pullman books. Dafne Keen and Ruth Wilson shine. 3 seasons give the story time to breathe, but even then there's a lot to pack in. Dimension-hopping shenanigans that will appeal if you liked my book!

I played this recently and loved it! The Ranger series uses the DS stylus to capture Pokémon by drawing rings around them, which is *so* satisfying. Plot is great, with some genuinely very funny writing and a ton of side-quests. Definitely worth a go!
