I just tried doing this (with β€œYakety Sax”), but can’t figure out how to upload it so the sound works.

4Screenwriting is open for applications to the 2026 cohort. Polish that script and send it in - still genuinely one of the best writing schemes in the UK and can launch careers overnight. #scriptwriting

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 2466: Writing takes resilience. You will sometimes be afraid. You will sometimes be rejected, criticized, disappointed. Don’t try to avoid those things. Feel them. Learn from them. Use them. Tell yourself that you have already done the hardest part. You have begun.

Gary Lineker: "This is the mistake the BBC makes. The BBC tries to appease the people that hate the BBC, rather than worrying about the people that love the BBC."

β€˜Reunion’: Warp Films’ Deaf-Led Revenge Thriller Breaks New Ground At Series Mania Writer William Mager tells Deadline the show β€œstarts as a typical thriller, but by the end it's morphed into something much more emotional."

It's a great feeling to finally be able to start talking openly about REUNION and what it's actually about, after three years of mostly keeping it to myself!

Really proud of how it's turned out, and excited to see it go out in the world very soon.

Mr Bates and Adolescence getting Parliament talking shows that the best way to Get Things Done is to write hit TV dramas. So come on writers, it's on us. Let's fix this country one limited series at a time!

Reunion - Festival SΓ©ries Mania Reunion is an emotional thriller of revenge and redemption, following the journey of a deaf man determined to right his wrongs, while unravelling the truth behind the events that led him to prison.

REUNION has its international premiere at Series Mania this Sunday evening. I’m going to be there, along with director Luke Snellin and exec producer Gwen Gorst. It’s free to book tickets and there are three showings in total:
