For everyone who ever wanted Miss Marple on Mars (that’s lots of people, right? right?!) or is sad that VIGIL hasn’t gone into space yet:

MURDER ON MARS on BBC Radio 4, arriving 14th Nov, made by a bunch of brilliant people. And me.

We have our first preview of JURASSIC today! It’s a closed one for freshers and students. I’m buzzed that our first showings for this are on a university campus, it’s taking my Oleanna With Dinosaurs premise to a whole new level…

MANCUNIANS! We've got some local previews of our dark comedy JURASSIC before we descend into the dingy depths of Soho. Ticket links in the message below.

Manchester theatre writers, playwrights, scribes! We’ve been doing some pub socials (a Manchester Evening of Writers, MEOW) and we’re gonna do more.

If you have the Instagram, go follow the new account (meow.mcr.writers, snazzy) and I’ll probably post deets here too.

Doctor Who: Archipelago has won a Scribe Award! scifibulletin.com/2025/07/26/s...

Special thanks to Dorney, Fitton & Hopley - we forged this @bigfinish.bsky.social 'Nine Meets River' miniseries together. Without their stories and suggestions, this tale is just three people getting lost on a boat.

Someone has asked for my headshot, and I can't DM it, so I'm whacking it here. Forgive me for showing you my face so early on a morning

Oh my gosh, cast your neighbour’s dog! Regardless of breed, if they’re channeling the character they’ll be perfect!

(My dog for comparison. Too lazy for adventures with Doctor Who)

Thanks for your lovely comments about DR WHO & THE VAMPIRE WEEKEND!

If anyone fancies some timely listening today, may I suggest this timey-wimey story? Features mini sausage rolls and snogging.

I watched (on @gossjam.bsky.social’s rec) The Exorcism, from 70s BBC anthology series ‘Dead of Night’. Four actors, limited sets, supreeeemely effective. A haunted Abigail’s Party. Someone needs to revive the stage version!
