I've had three very similiar conversations down the pub over the last month:
"Oy, Salter! I tried watching one of your videos the other day."
"Really? Did you like it?"
"Nah, I switched it off after five minutes."
"Umm...okay."
Not sure how I'm supposed to respond to that?

Yet Another Scandalous British Life Peer
Jeffrey Archer:
A charming genius, a trailblazing politician, a talented best-selling writer, a lovable rogue, or just a massive bellend?
My latest script for Scandal delves into the bizarre life and times of Baron Archer of Weston-super-Mare, otherwise known as Tuppence.

Two new scripts this week!
On DTU, we look at why the 1995 film βBraveheartβ might not be entirely accurate and ponder over how much it really matters anyway.
Over on βScandalβ, we examine the fall from grace of Rolf Harris which apparently had nothing to do with his cover of βStairway to Heavenβ.

VIDEO NASTY!
My new script for the 'Scandal' channel lands very soon.
It takes a look at the censorship panic that engulfed the UK in the early 1980s, as batty old-aged pensioners led a revolt against the sickening vile filth that was turning our kids into monsters.
Viewer discretion is advised.

I can't remember all the details now but I think it had something to do with a double murder in Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.

This DNA profiling lark might not be half as clever as they reckon.
When a direct match with a DNA profile was recently found to shed new light on an unsolved murder case from 1984, the fresh suspect had an alibi which is about as rock solid as they come...
