We're actually going to Aalborg in a couple of months! Maybe I should pack a few offerings in my bag - for a fee.

We've done some work in North and Mid Wales, you can DM me if you like? Might be able to help

Solo trip to a cinema in Manchester, midweek, had some awful news and needed solace; found myself with around 20 strangers watching TEAM AMERICA WORLD POLICE. I swear fifteen of us joined in and chanted: "I promise, I will never die" at THAT moment.

Not to mention the entire plane full of people crashing and being brushed off because the guys have some adventuring to be doing.

You might want to block me for this but I preferred the NatWest. Some of those finals in the early 80s were beyond exciting.

Josh Tongue has a complex bowling action with arms going in different directions. In olden times he'd have bowled thousands of overs by this stage of his career and it would be "grooved" as they used to say. When he grooves it I reckon he'll be consistently excellent #cricket

Can't stand it. Those highlights were how I learned to bowl like Colin Croft.

I wrote three pages. BUT I also outlined two alternative versions of the same story (sitcom and micro-drama), and I spent about a week polishing a portfolio for a meeting that turned out to be a blowout, and I have just been outlining a new idea, anyway how's your ADHD going? #scriptsky

Today's bugbear phrase: "please don't take this the wrong way".

I'll take it however the fuck I like thank you Nathan.

Same! That opening sequence on its own is up there with the best.

Not tried it sorry! The only sharing i do is making my family listen to my cool tunes.

Can confirm - I've been subscribing to Tidal for a while now and don't miss Spotify at all.

Writing time, alone time and socialising time. And a lovely calming view and the sound of a river or the sea.

Writing the most personal film script I've ever written, and as a light palette cleanser, a TV thriller about astroturfing and ecofacism.

I toyed with an idea last year about a plane full of body parts (real thing) that contained a vampire's head. I never wrote it - PLEASE WRITE THIS!

Agreed - I think she's amazing.

I can't remember the specifics but there was a particular political term used and I remember muttering something like "that's a decision taken at cabinet level you idiots" and then I thought maybe this film is not for the likes of me!

Yes! When I realised that they were living in a consequence-free world I just checked out. It was still lots of fun but no emotional appeal for me.

One thing that bothered me (minor spoiler) was how casually they offed the crew and staff on Air Force One before whipping our attention back to the comedy.

Kaboom!!! Thanks Tim - and thanks Karen

1. 20 (not including shorts)
2. 5
3. 0 (I've outlined about 45 unwritten features, but I don't start writing until I've nailed the story)
4. 0 (but 10 outlined as above)

25.07.2025 08:28 β€” πŸ‘ 5    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

10 for me. Anything less just doesn't feel worth it. Although since we got small dogs, we have found that the non-stop face licking means we don't need a snooze.

My first script was called World of Chop (Incorporating House of Chop) and it was an animated comedy tv show about aliens setting up a fake meat hypermarket as cover for their dastardly invasion plans.

It's unforgivable that we let plaid shirts with ripped jeans become the default uniform of men when it used to be the most reliable way of identifying who's secretly a werewolf.

My little niece watches Bluey and Duggie and they are fab. But then I play the Rainbow theme and it just magics up another level of feeling
