This is me and my sister Karen in Shantaman near Cavan last Friday with John Joe Lyons, who still owns and runs the family farm 200 years after our great-great-great-grandfather Thomas left Ireland for Birmingham and then London, apparently never to return. Mind-blowing!

Great trip to Stratford to catch the RSC's Arturo Ui with Mark Gatiss. A dark carnival of a production, painting Chicago/Berlin as a Tim Burtonesque Batman-style nightmare. Terrific design and hi-energy performances driven along by music by Placebo. An exuberant spectacle, scary and timely.

Great night on Tuesday at the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough catching up with my talented former student Kerry Wright and her punchy play KAILEY, getting its professional premiere 6 years after she began developing it on the Leeds Uni Writing for Performance MA

Two books about early years of The Bill out on Kindle this week: 1. Oliver Crocker's Witness Statements: Making The Bill 1988 includes a chapter on my script The Coop. 2. Edward Kellett's Reaching a Verdict: Reviewing The Bill 1983-1989 contains a detailed analysis of my episode Speaking Freely.

Great to see Zodwa Nyoni's engrossing play Liberation yesterday @rxtheatre.bsky.social - a fascinating account of the 5th Pan-African Congress in Manchester in 1945, which kickstarted the post-colonial independence movements. Also fab to catch up with Zodwa and my ex-colleague Adam Strickson
