I’m a British actor and artist. I play Harry Sullivan for Big Finish, and I love to paint and draw the heroes of my youth…

Denmark to tackle deepfakes by giving people copyright to their own features Amendment to law will strengthen protection against digital imitations of people’s identities, government says

Denmark is giving its citizens copyright on their own face and voice in an effort to resist AI. They’re the first country in the world to do so. Go Denmark!

The video trailer by Rob Ritchie for the #DoctorWho Smith & Sullivan audio series is full of clever details, of which the "VHS tape" is my favourite.

Lovely behind the scenes video for the @bigfinish.bsky.social #DoctorWho spinoff "Smith & Sullivan" with (listen carefully!) a snippet from the 2025 Christmas episode!

Sadie's jumper seen in vision may give you a clue as to when her interview was recorded!

Found this on my M&S banana… Should I be concerned? Should I burn the house down? Any arachnid-fanciers out there?

An alert to all creatives using #WeTransfer. Basically, stop immediately! As of August, they will begin scraping everything you send for AI purposes (see the new paragraph in their Terms and Conditions below).

If, like me, you’re a voice artist, they’ll clone your voice. Avoid at all costs.

It’s the 50th anniversary of Jaws, one of the best movies of all time. Let’s watch ITV ruin one of its most beautiful scenes to plug their celebrity cash-in, shall we? After all, some old movie is nothing but filler, is it?

The estimable Michael Palin’s latest diaries are out in paperback, and I was delighted to find his account of coming to see ‘The Woman In Black’ in 2009, which I was appearing in with the magnificent Julian Forsyth. I dug out my own diary from the time to compare (translation of my scrawl follows).

We’re most grateful to 'Tales After Dark' audience member Ryan Hopper for sharing this sketch, made in the moment, as the story unfolded.

We’re always honoured when a tale stirs the imagination — and never more so than when it leaves a mark on the page.
