Described as "joyful" and "charming" by critics. The Mail on Sunday gave it a 4-star review, calling it "joyful," while Who Do You Think You Are? magazine said it’s a "festive treat" and a "charming tale of creativity and optimism". Listen our latest drama here > www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...
We’ve got 29 days to raise £2870 at www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/qr/eWoNXXY... so we can produce our 6 new vertical miniseries episodes AND a 6 part audio drama “Cops & Monsters” in Scotland!
Creative Scotland are matching pledges up to £250 but only if we reach our goal!
Thank you everyone!
I’m quietly optimistic for the year ahead with the promise of more graphic novels - not least the return of the pilot of the future and a return to indie films. Always looking for fellow conspirators. Here’s a little taster of @b7media.bsky.social @b7comics.bsky.social projects for 2026 :-)
Here’s a little taster of @b7media.bsky.social and @b7comics.bsky.social projects we’ve got planned for the year ahead. Some are fully funded, while others were actively looking for creative, business and distribution partners. So if anything piques your interest please drop us a line.
Know your Phyllis Twigg? @b7media.bsky.social @soundliness.com @paulkerensa.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...
Hey! Who loves a “behind the scenes” story? Writer @paulkerensa.bsky.social has kindly written about his experience with @b7media.bsky.social and radio drama in “The Truth About The Truth About Phyllis Twigg”

“Thank you for calling B7 Media. Our offices are closed for the Christmas holidays. To reach @amsewell.bsky.social on his mobile, please visit 1922. @soundliness.com is unavailable at this time, but the office radio is missing and her handbag is still here. If you see her, do not approach!”
Lovely interview in the Northern Echo with Aja Dodd, who plays Jenny in @b7media.bsky.social’s “The Truth About Phyllis Twigg” on BBC Radio 4 this Christmas Eve. Shoutout to @bobfischer.bsky.social and @mulgraveaudio.bsky.social who found her first! 😁

Well, if you ever had any doubt how the audio drama market is dominated in the UK... Still, nice to make the #ARIAS nominations shortlist with UNSINKABLE!
There are just 10 days left to contribute to our crowdfund for the audio drama "Harry's Home". While hitting our target would be amazing, another £1k will allow us to record the script. #Dementia and #Alzheimer's disease are conditions that people are afraid to think about. We understand that.
Our debut graphic novel about the life and death of Tony Hancock has been praised by the great and good of the comics industry. It’s not a straight biography by any means, but writer Stephen Walsh and artist Keith Page absolutely catch the conflicted character of Hancock. You get £10 off too!
“It's red hot, mate. I hate to think of this sort of book getting in the wrong hands. As soon as I've finished this, I shall recommend they ban it." www.b7media.com/product/hanc... #blackfridaydeals #biography #comedy #GraphicNovel #TonyHancock
Just a few of my favourite audio dramas discounted for #blackfriday. Grab the last remaining copies. The #Blakes7 box set are nearly all gone! Just saying 😘
