I don’t totally agree. The writing was pretty much on point apart from, as you say, the emphasis on background for the bad guys. I’m used to one writer for a series, I live in the uk, but they don’t usually run the show as well and perhaps a writers room would’ve helped here?

So sad to hear that Prunella Scales has died. I met her twice when she came up to teach at the actors centre in Newcastle. She didn’t have to come so far North but she was unfailingly kind and absolutely brilliant. I still remember her very helpful notes for me.💔

@superwiki.bsky.social hi jules what’s happened to the superwiki page?

I love the changes in light

Ooooo nice choice here’s wishing you a huge lottery win

I found this, left by Lisette Auton on my desk at the library this morning. Very apt for writing a new draft

It’s holding pretty steady in the Amazon Prime top ten worldwide

I saw a hummingbird hawk moth on a lavender bush a while back. It took a minute or two for my brain to work out that hummingbirds don’t live in County Durham. Amazing

Oh I see . Might have to avoid Bluesky from now on until I’ve seen the episode. Seen it now and totally agree by the way.

Careful with spoilers please if this is for episode 7

Have you watched Supernatural? 15 seasons 20-23 episodes each season.

Emotionally fraught and full of action- excellent episode. Countdown is really hitting its stride now

The writing in this piece is very good however the moving gifs are not . Even using reader doesn’t help. For disability accessibility please consider not using them as I would like to read more but can’t risk it

And at number 3 in the uk

Same thing happened to Tracker season1 and look what happened to that

Thanks for this Katie. I’ve just had the notes of my second draft back from my agent. Very similar to you in that I didn’t think there would be any major changes. Wrong! So having a bit wallow before sorting it all out. Thanks again for showing that I’m not alone

Don’t miss the last episode of season 2 - Jensen joins there

Nice shot.

Jensen’s in season 1 too (ep 12)

The Singing Ringing Tree 😳 on repeat throughout the 60s and 70s in order to traumatise the heck out of as many of us bairns as they could

Visuals of course, (why do illustrations diminish as a child gets older, give me ALL the pictures ) but also reading aloud and doing it well. Jackanory introduced me to so many books in the 60s and 70s -that I then read later. Perform it, dance it, sing it- words are amazing let them fly

META BOOK THIEVES - They Must Do The Write Thing The Society of Authors are protesting Meta’s HQ today This image shows illustrations of authors holding placards saying “make it fair” and “do the write thing”

Today UK authors are protesting against Meta for stealing our work to train their AI model. Authors earn an average of £7000 per year, we are not rich, and yet a trillion dollar company decided it didn’t want to license our work fairly as it was “too expensive”

Theft is not a valid alternative.

I support the The Society of Authors Day of Action against Meta who illegally trained their AI using pirated books - almost every author I know is affected.
