At 4pm on Saturday the 7th, BBC Radio 4 Extra are re-broadcast my adaptation of Iain M. Banks’ β€˜The State of the Art’ starring the late Sir Antony Sher as the ship. So pleased that’s going to be out there again.

NPCs: a pilot reading "The workaday residents of a small fantasy town finally get their due in this new comedy about the side characters in an epic quest!"A live table-read of NPCs, an original pilot written by Riley Silve...

I'm pleased to announce that @doonpook.bsky.social and I will be debuting our brand new pilot script, NPCs, as a table-read at the Joy Who Lived festival on April 12th!

The tavern is for tourists, and the "side quests" are their entire lives.

Yes, so I now want to do a TOS podcast where I get to talk about every single episode. I know this will come as a real shock, but I have a lot of Trek opinions. πŸ––

Favourite comics so far this year: Losing Control; Mary Sue; The Last Starship; Muppets Noir. And Flash Gordon concluded very well before the relaunch.

I’m amazed at how successful this attempt to convey Le Carre’s style in comics has been. Deeply serious, deserving of a place in the canon. Such a difficult thing to do.

I would genuinely love to write that. But would probably call it something different.

On Friday I should finish and deliver a novel that’s an Official Sequel to a famous book. Very proud of this. I’ve been working on it for the best part of a year. One of those forthcoming announcements I keep mentioning in my Newsletter.

Have you seen her in Brockmire Paul? A great foil for Hank Azaria in season 3

I felt the same thing when Lower Decks came out. Happy about the shift on both counts.
