Today marks 50 years of 'Protect and Survive'.
Brilliant to see Ste from @scarredforlife.bsky.social on BBC Breakfast TV this morning talking about growing up in the shadow of the bomb.
Also featured was an amazing piece with Roger Limb discussing the music and sounds he composed for the PIF.

Today I have been mostly working on 'Danger No Swimming' signs in the workshop, which will start to ship next week. Thanks for all the pre-orders after Reece Shearsmith featured it on Taskmaster a few weeks ago. Just a handful left of each size to order in time for Xmas.

Whilst I was spending the weekend up in Whitby performing my new AV show 'Wren's Nest', @gingerbeardmark.bsky.social was hosting an event with Mackenzie Crook back in Birmingham. Was so chuffed to be sent this photo of Mackenzie with one of my 'Danebury' prints. Thanks Mark!! 😃

A darkly delightful sonic experience from the brilliant @hiddenbritain.bsky.social
‘The Wren’ is a haunting and hypnotic journey — disturbing in all the right ways, yet utterly enthralling.
A thought-provoking, beautifully crafted piece straight from the very heart of the Black Country.

Loved watching Wren's Nest by @hiddenbritain.bsky.social at Switched On in Whitby. Eerie television interruptions and broken soundscapes that morph into a surprisingly effective ghost story.

Very surreal to see one of our pieces appear on Taskmaster (Channel 4) last night. Watch Reece Shearsmith discussing the amazing public information film 'The Spirit Of Dark And Lonely Water' (1973) before introducing a sign I made him a few years ago for his downstairs toilet.
