Getting to grips with the basics before my big trip! 🇮🇹
I'm peeping into this universe again now that it seems like Twitter might physically melt because they won't pay to keep the fans on in the server room.
For my neglected Mastomaniacs, here's my new banner image, a still from upcoming short film Argh! by James Bugg and Toryn Westcott.
My sketch-show-released-as-a-podcast, Crowley Time, is back! Episode 26: Intense Conflict is on your podcast apps and at crowleytime.com now.
If you haven't heard the show, I like to think of it as the run-off you'd get if you simmered my brain over a low heat for about forty-five minutes. So check it out!
The Christmas episode of Crowley Time is now available in your podcast stocking and at crowleytime.com. Merry Winter Social!
👇 A few more photos of my visit.
On our recent trip to Canterbury, we popped into The Beaney Museum just because it looked interesting, with no idea that it contained the real Canterbury cathedral - the Smallfilms Gallery. I’ve never seen this many original Postgate and Firmin artefacts in one place. It was incredibly moving and inspiring to see the real bits of felt and paper that became such enchanting living creatures. Then the Witch from Pogles’ Wood ate me.
I’m going to Oxford! Early in the morning! Because today is the first day of recordings for Victoriocity Series 3! It has a subtitle which I can’t tell you.
There are few joys as joyous as going to beautiful Oxford, or ‘The Prime Minister Growing Vat’ as it’s known, to spend some time with the wonderful team behind Even Greater London and be Inspector Fleet for a bit.
Goodness Gracious Me was one of the most important comedy shows to me as a young lad, so getting to see a screening and a Q&A with the original cast and producer was a very special experience. Not to mention that we also got to watch a brilliant episode of The Real McCoy in the company of once producer Terry Jervis.
Utterly prophetic television from 1971 tonight. Doom Watch Series 2, Episode 10: The Human Time Bomb. Greedy developers test the limits of economising on high-rise, ultra-compact urban residential blocks, gradually shredding the residents’ nerves.
Half of Doom Watch is lost, which strikes me as a tragedy. It’s got Doctor Who pedigree, created by Kit Pedler and Gerry Davis, and its sci-fi remit seems to be less ‘the day after tomorrow’ and more ‘later this afternoon’. Eerily accurate sometimes.
