We've got a drama on BBC 1 over Christmas. It's based on Andrew O'Hagan's brilliant book 'Mayflies' and I feel very privileged to have been asked to write it. It's about love, loss, life long friendship and facing the truth about our own mortality. My partner Simon died 4 years ago so working on it was deeply cathartic.

‘I’m getting a wee bit choked up’: Martin Compston and Tony Curran on their hugely moving new drama

Would you help your best pal to die? That’s the question posed by Andrea Gibb’s devastating new series Mayflies. The real-life friends discuss couch-surfing, working together – and AC-12 mania

Impressively drawn, emotionally demanding, thoughtfully plotted…

Loved it.

Every day I see more and more evidence of society descending into utter lawlessness and chaos.

This is one of my favorite pictures. It feels like it was taken yesterday… but it was taken in a Paris public garden nearly a hundred years ago. Everything feels modern: the composition, the casualness, the daring clothes, haircuts, and accessories.

The colors are original: this is an #autochrome, using the first process for color #photography invented by the Lumière brothers in 1903.

The women are unknown, but I can't help wondering how they fared a few years later in nazi-occupied Paris.
