Out today! A fantasy epic we produced for Audible, starring Freya Mavor (Industry), Jessie Mei Li (Shadow and Bone), Iain Glen (Game of Thrones) and Tunji Kasim (Nancy Drew). It's loads of fun and a bit rude.

I highly recommend this drama by @paulmagrs.bsky.social which puts a magical spin on a true story about an encounter with David Bowie in the 1980s: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Just listened.
Beautiful, and deserves to be a true story!
We all wear masks, but only The Goblin King could create so many, so well.

09.01.2026 22:35 — 👍 10 🔁 2 💬 0 📌 1Of all the hours of radio and TV dedicated to David Bowie this week, my favourite is this enchanting and moving drama by @paulmagrs.bsky.social - based on a true story which offers a glimpse of the gentle, complex, generous soul that lay behind that remarkable artist. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

If you need a little magic in your life
- and who doesn’t, what with how things are -
then treat yourself to a journey to the Labyrinth. Oh, there will be monsters and terrors, but there is real treasure and true magic in the end.
(Thank you to @paulmagrs.bsky.social and all the cast)
So special. An apt celebration of #DavidBowie and his importance to many of us who needed magical guidance in our lives, young or old. And Daniel’s journey is an analogue to our marking the 40th anniversary of Labyrinth. ‘How you turn my world, you precious thing.’ www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...
10.01.2026 16:47 — 👍 14 🔁 3 💬 1 📌 1Just listened to "The Goblin King and Me" by @paulmagrs.bsky.social and directed by @kenbentley.bsky.social for @bafflegabble.bsky.social. Seriously, this was such a wonderful piece of drama and such a brilliant story, and underneath all of that a really wonderful portrayal of neurodivergence (1/2)

"Just because people pretend not to see magic, doesn't mean it's not real."
@paulmagrs.bsky.social on his usual magical form: The last ten or so minutes moved me to tears.
Beautiful.

Listen now on BBC Sounds!
Radio Times: “This is something very special… magical realism with a heart.”
The Observer: “The tone echoes that old-fashioned, twisty coming-of-age movie Labyrinth beautifully.”

Paul Magrs' play on Radio 4, The Goblin King and Me, is truly wonderful. Do take 45 minutes to have a listen.
