And all those hours spent in Hamburg and Liverpool pay off when they get to Twist and Shout with only take in the tank. Ground-breaking work.

Of course, an accountancy firm is ideal for this type of contract.

That's the thing - you have to look beyond the initial set-up and go with the characters. Incredible drama.

Industry season four review – truly twisted, top-tier television It may only be January, but you already know this banking drama is going to be one of the year’s best shows – a daring, debauched and jaw-dropping treat

This is excellent news! Proper top-notch, under the radar, TV... πŸ‘‡

Sir George Martin was born 100 years ago today. He and the Beatles lucked into their glorious partnership and humankind is the lasting recipient. I was privileged to work with George and hoped to mark the centenary by touring a theatre show about his life & work – but I must stay focused on writing.

NEWS! I'm sure we've got a lot of fans of 'The Traitors' on here? Our March guest, Harriet Tyce, is a contestant in the new series which starts tonight on BBC1, 8pm 😍

Harriet even gave us a clue with her author photo! All the details on the programme in the comments (no spoilers, so we're all safe)

A quick post-Xmas dash to London to see 'The Spy Who Came In From The Cold'. Fantastic production, even from the cheap seats in the amazing Soho Place.
