Well the Call My Agent movie was superb. And the ending was perfect. And I love all of them.

This is why working with Joel is great. We are very much on the same (pre-designed) page on these things. Visualisation is a basic magic but it DOES work

Guys Penda’s Fen is on BBC Four at 10.15. If you’ve never seen it, you are in for a revelatory experience. If you have seen it, why not watch it again, to remind yourself of the extraordinary things television can do

“It was the day I signed a million-legged faster-than-light invisible striker who embodied the concept of “football” in eleven dimensions when I first realised that I, and the other people in my Fantasy Football League, apprehended the word “fantasy” very very differently”.

The Proclaimers walk 500 miles. Then they walk 500 more. On the way, they run into Vanessa Carlton, going the other way. Slight nod of the head of acknowledgement, slight flicker of a smile. Then back to the walking.

It’s TRUE. For a limited time, you can buy the critically lauded second season of Broken Veil, for a one-off payment. Immerse yourself in the strange.

Let’s not have a repeat of the 1962 match against Argentina where Borges, playing midfield, opened up an infinite library which contained every possible book ever written, pushing the game into some serious extra time. I’m *so* the natural audience for sport it’s amazing

I note that the very excellent Broken Veil series 2 by @gralefrit.bsky.social & @willmac23.bsky.social is available as a one off payment for £14 (WYKYK). I just finished listening to it and cannot recommend it enough. If you loved the first series then this is a good way to catch up.

While we have the Bayeux Tapestry, I think we should bring it up to date, adding all the events that have happened since then to it. The Renaissance. All the wars. Nasty Nick getting kicked off Big Brother 1. “Sweet like Chocolate” by Shanks and Bigfoot. Cat Bin Lady. It’s the least we can do

Rest in Power Bonnie Tyler. The only time I've EVER done karaoke was about 15 years ago when myself and @gralefrit.bsky.social did "Total Eclipse of the Heart", absolutely battered, at a thing. Victor Lewis Smith was there, and he got up and left.

Just a reminder that my novel Solace House is the perfect read for what I’m dubbing “Unsettled Reader Summer” and is currently ONLY 99p on Kindle. Which is a steal, frankly. Here’s a copy with an oyster mushroom growing from it

…and comments like THIS make it all worthwhile. Just knowing all the hard work means something to somebody, that it’s lit up their neurons in a pleasurable way. Thank you everyone who’s listened and taken the time to tell us how much they’ve enjoyed it, it means the world.

Seconded - Thanks for all the love for Broken Veil II. It was incredibly hard work but also an absolute time. And apologies for the (very minor) paywall, but we couldn't afford to do it otherwise.
