lovely writing in #thearchers this week! Lilian getting emotional from Peggy's old shopping lists, Brian expressing regrets, and the will messiness got me doing a happy dance. Sarah Hehir is in my top tier now. However, I need more messiness and less maturity with the grandkids over the will pls 👏👏👏

Woop!

Made it to the semi-finals/top 5% of the BBC Comedy Collective Bursery Scheme - the furthest I've ever got, and lovely to feel like I'm progressing!

The 'unfortunately' email has never felt so good 🎉🎉🎉

I need to stop freezing bread. At this point, it's not helping my problems, and is actively causing new ones.

What a brilliant piece by radio dramatist Katie on what we lose by cutting radio drama to (less than) the bone.

I've been able to experience so many classics and new writing through BBC's radio dramas - it's the first place I heard Mike Bartlett 1/5
BBC radio drama is in grave danger. Without it we may lose the next generation of writing talent
Hundreds of hours of original plays have been cut from the corporation’s programming in recent years. If the trend continues, a valuable training ground for writers will be lost

Hello Bluesky!

I'm giving my socials a new coat of paint, with hopefully no exchange for my soul ("but it's so profitable!").
