Agreed! The very possibility they could have been is chilling.

Those ‘text messages’ are SO WEIRD. They’re like a corporate video from the Office with awkward full sentences and convenient exposition.

UK taxpayers contributed £89m to the most expensive movie ever made Scheme to boost British film industry leads to Universal Pictures pocketing millions of pounds for blockbuster Jurassic World: Rebirth

Look. It's really important that we attract blockbusters to the UK to employ our skilled crews and related industries (drivers, catering etc). The UK industry won't grow without that.

It's also really important we funnel investment to home-grown projects written, directed and starred in by Brits.

Yeess!!

Wrote words about how we can save the Scottish TV industry #scriptsky #scotland

📺 The TV Industry Is Broken—Can We Fix It?

This week we are joined by @clairesduffy.bsky.social , founder of the Glasgow TV Festival to chat about:

🎬 Why she started the festival to push for change
🚨 What’s wrong with the industry.
💡 Her hopes for the future of TV & more.

Listen now🎧

So once again I will remind you all that the show ya’ll are all talking about (The Pitt) had all levels of writers in the room including lower and mid levels.

If we want more good TV, everyone at the top needs to fight for proper writers rooms… because the results speak for themselves!

I’m going to start calling you boss man

This is a very short sighted decision and a real blow to Scottish drama. Sad day!

Buzzing after our first Glasgow Telly Fest team meeting! Went over the entire plan, everything that needs to be done and planned and booked and it’s a LOT, but we can do it. Hold on to your hats, Glasgow is saving telly 🥳🥳🥳 #tvindustry #scriptsky #glasgow

By that logic you’re all one of ours.

Eugh that’s a horribly good point.

Diary of a Festival 10-14 March It's getting real

Ever wondered what goes in to planning and executing your very own festival?!

Yes! Highly recommend The Agency on Netflix for mindless eye candy too :-) Je t’en prie!

This is something I find kind of fascinating (like a car crash) about conservatives. I have never in my life heard of someone on the liberal/left end complaining of conservative friends ditching us or not dating us. Almost like we stand by what we believe?

It’s wild looking up “radical socialist” Bernie’s policies from Europe and being like… that’s just normal?

You’d think that might tell them something…

That’s brilliant! As someone who lived in a few non-English countries, one of the best things you could do now is start immersing yourself in radio/tv/podcasts — you won’t understand it all to start with, but it helps to train your brain. Bonne chance!!

As I suspected

Sometimes I think you make these acronyms up

Yesss can’t wait for this!!
