Delighted to say that Iโ€™m joining Birmingham City University next month as a full time Lecturer in Filmmaking. Today Iโ€™ve been getting a little head start with a cheeky campus visit.

Bring on Birmingham and working with some future and developing filmmakers.

When youโ€™re co-writing a book about Mission Impossible, itโ€™s only fair to see the new instalment with your writing partner! So @ericanela.bsky.social and her lovely husband left their native Nailsea and @amyclarke83.bsky.social and myself left London, to meet in the middle at Oxford.

I keep forgetting Bluesky exists. Is there a better way to remember and interact with others on here?

Now the season is going again, loving @dirtysidepod.bsky.social. Great racing chat.

Does anybody have advice as to how to remember Bluesky? Moving from the other app to here has done something to my brain where I literally forget about this app and posting on it. But when Iโ€™m here I enjoy it.

Just a reminder its ALWAYS a good time to rewatch Band of Brothers.

At this point Drive To Survive is so fabricated with out of sequence editing, misleading narratives and staged discussion scenes, itโ€™s less F1 documentary and more Keeping Up With The Car-dashians.

True. It also protects him if he gets over keen being near the front for the first time and gets caught up in some first corner drama. โ€˜A rookie error there sees Liam into the gravelโ€™

But, heโ€™s been a full time teacher, but he had to take over mid-term because the predecessor was not delivering the syllabus how the school wanted. How far can we stretch this metaphor?

Lawson is one of those outliers. I wouldnโ€™t say heโ€™s a rookie because of having half a season full time plus varied guest drives before that.

Wading into the @dirtysidepod.bsky.social debate. If itโ€™s your first full season of F1 you are a rookie in my own opinion. Youโ€™ve not had the day to day of being an F1 driver which includes engineering side, media, improving your car because itโ€™s your car etc etc. Ollie Bearman is 100% a rookie.

In our latest episode, we explore The Hartenstein Hotel, Divisional HQ of the British Airborne. Such an amazing place to look around.

And, as per the clip here, historian James Holland asks the questions that some leaders wouldnโ€™tโ€ฆ

Finally catching up on the new @dirtysidepod.bsky.social. Letโ€™s see what weโ€™ve gotโ€ฆ. (If you love F1 or are just getting to grips with the sport give it a listen)

Thanks to Royal Holloway, University of London for having me in to speak at their Creative Industries and Media Week. Such good questions from the students.

Met the resident Careers office cat, so double win!

Week 3 out of 11 of teaching at Birkbeck, University of London complete. What a brilliant experience it has been so far. The students have been really motivated and engaged. Next week they pitch the projects that they will be doing as the final assessment. Excited to see what they bring.

So glad to hear that @dirtysidepod.bsky.social are as annoyed by Big Brother Mohammed Ben Sulayem and his dictatorial rules as I am. #F1

It will be mentioned in the Prologue along with the 1980s two season revival. And the later movies will get a light nod in the Epilogue.

Thanks to the brilliant @ericanela.bsky.social, I've joined her as co-author of the book 'The Making of Mission Impossible' (working title) with Pen and Sword Books. Hardback out in 2026 ready to celebrate 30 years since the first film hit cinemas.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to co-write a book about a 1996 film that kicked off a franchise that ran for 3 decades. If you or your co-writer are captured or suffer writers block, the Publisher will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This post will self destruct in 5 seconds

Yes! My wife and I love a retro choc-sweet. Although Munchies rank a place higher on the list.

Remember when you had a Nokia and how little you had to charge it? Iโ€™m pretty sure I have a 3210 thatโ€™s been left powered up in a drawer since 2002 which still has around 52% battery left.

Last year I worked hard to pivot the paid part of my career as a content producer into writing and teaching. And this year has started strong...I'm now Associate Lecturer at Birkbeck, University of London, and I'm just waiting on the contract for my first non-fiction book deal.
