Very excited by this. It would be right up my street to write for it. Bite-size, mad-cap, fun, educational, inclusive, warm adventures in time and space. #scriptskyuk #doctorwho www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...

Doctor Who - The Tardis is set to land on CBeebies

The BBC is looking for a production company to create and produce the series, which will run independently from the main show

OTD six years ago, my first EastEnders episode. Loved working on that show. Taught me SO much. #scriptskyuk

Finally had it with the bird place and it wasn't even the Nazis that depressed me. Been backing off the socials a bit lately and my MH is thanking me. I'm more fun IRL anyway. 😅

So! I'm thinking of retitling my gritty drama spec "Edge". But, serious question, what does that title conjour up for you? #scriptsky #scriptyskyuk

Is it me or is there a lot of smoking on telly again? Between Black Doves and Strike I can feel bronchitis coming on. (I grew up with parents that smoked. I've always hated it and it devalues any protagonist for me. So there.)

My festive treat atm is The Box Of Delights on iplayer. 40 years old, I *think* I saw it first time round. Charming and comforting with old fashioned cliffhangers that make my telly heart flutter. What are you watching this Christmas? #scriptskyuk

Just got back from #WickedMovie yes, it's a tad long but what a spectacle. My musical soul has been thoroughly nourished and my spirits are defying gravity. 🤗🧹

Just pressed send on my last deadline for the year. And with that, I'm downing tools. There will still be writing but nothing pressured. I'm taking some time off. Laters and merry Christmas. #scriptskyuk

Just finished Black Doves on Nextflix. Well done @joebarton.bsky.social Great characters, big stakes, cracking wit. And great to see my home town on display. Perfect pre-Christmas viewing.

Was in the company of some fantastic writers yesterday and was reminded that I'm passionate and angry with opinions and perspectives that are uniquely mine. Sometimes in the rush to get out a new script I think I've been forgetting to focus on that. #scriptskyuk

Just started Black Doves on Netflix. Strong and slick with some great characters. Well done @joebarton.bsky.social

Just had the most energizing and affirming zoom meeting. I don't suffer from imposter syndrome (I think!) but I'm always amazed when someone compliments my writing. 🤗 #scriptskyuk

I think I've only seen this twice in my life before today but by god, that jingle has stuck with me. 😳😅

Still gives me chills watching this. No wonder this movie burned into troubled 1992 Phil and why I still write about identity today.

Fantastic but full-on evening bumping into so many amazing writer chums. Thank you @annaruthjordan.bsky.social and @vinaypatel.bsky.social Bagged a Christmas selfie with @georgiacooked.bsky.social and @fiotrethewey.bsky.social

Obviously Whoie me is looking forward to this for Christmas Eve. But I love this story and The Daleks in colour was garish with anachronistic incidental music.

She's off for a meeting dear, with a top exec. Gotta look the part today, despite the cold. #busselfie 😅

Yet another pic of myself, this time reasonably smartly dressed, at a bus stop, trying not to look like it's not subzero.

This week I am mostly rewriting a spec to ramp up the tension. Friday-me left myself this note: The moment one of your characters starts to relax toss them a grenade. #scriptskyuk

Curating my feed. I'm having no arguments, no aggression. Just good vibes, happy screenwriting news and Doctor Who action figures. I can get drama and existential crises from everywhere else.

Is there a UK TV writers # or starter pack? #scriptsky feels quite US and features skewed.

Hey kids. Been a while since I've been here so thank you for all the follows. Gimme a minute to catch up. XX

Haven't been here for MONTHS. But I'm considering a move over. How does it work again? Ooh you guys have gifs now?

As a cast-off from the axing of Holby, my heart goes out to all my pals at Doctors and all the future writers, directors and actors that now won't have that avenue into the industry. A real shame. www.digitalspy.com/soaps/doctor...

Big old snake yesterday rather than the ladder I was hoping for. Today, a healing run and eyes back on the horizon.

LOVED hearing the @bbcdoctorwho.bsky.social 60th concert on BBC Sounds. Would've liked more than a repeat of the 50th's Radiophonic section but a really emotional trip through Murray Gold's back catalogue. And exciting glimpses ahead. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

I can't get used to this place. It feels weird to comment on something and then not have to block the bot that likes it.
