I can breathe a sigh of relief!

I remember the excitement of running to my local newsagent to get the latest copy of Doctor Who Weekly - never daring to dream that one day its monthly successor would review a Doctor Who story that I had written myself.

Thank God they liked it…

New James Bond, you say?

It was in that moment that I knew I would never play Hamlet.

🎉 Happy Brain Drain Day to all Who celebrate!

Writing this 3rd #DoctorWho adventure was an adventure in itself. Co-written with @nickbriggs.bsky.social and with a stellar cast, all produced by Heather Challands. I couldn’t have wished for better.

Jumping Jehoshaphat!

At least we know what he looks like with a chimney on him.

Sometimes, we all need a little support.

Moving on to this, a recent birthday present. Brett’s performance as Holmes is beautiful but it came at a cost, so I’m expecting a bitter-sweet read.

Just read this.

It whips through the South West Coastal path - too quickly for me - while examining themes of homelessness and hope. Fairly repetitive, with many of the characters drawn with too little depth for my taste.

Being made into a film, apparently.

My Doctor Who writing debut features in this month’s Doctor Who Magazine!

So grateful for the opportunity, and to the amazing cast who brought it to life. I can’t wait for you to hear it!

Annoyingly, I saved everything for today thinking I could work through the storm. Turns out it’s the nicest day of the week.

Took shelter from the rain in the Stanley Spencer Gallery, Cookham.

Think you know the works of Gerry Anderson?

Sure, you’ve heard of Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and Space: 1999, but Five Star Five? Intergalactic Rescue 4? Or First Action Bureau?

Find out about my novelisations of Gerry Anderson’s forgotten projects!

🎭 I love it when my plays are performed! Bonington Players have just completed their run of my comedy murder mystery, A Fete Worse Than Death.

If you’re interested, or know an #amdram group who would be, you can read it for free via Lazy Bee Scripts…

I count myself lucky to have worked with Terry many years ago. A true gentleman who wore his reputation lightly. Much missed.

This was such fun to write, with a top-notch cast to boot! Proud to be part of the third Doctor’s continuing adventures…
