Following the critically-acclaimed release of The Chimes, I've produced two more full-cast adaptations of Charles Dickens’ Christmas stories; THE CRICKET ON THE HEARTH & THE HAUNTED MAN.

Brexit has cost each and every one of us £3,700 a year.
But instead of solving the problem, Labour are using Brexit as an excuse to raise your taxes.
My message ahead of the Budget: Stop blaming Brexit and start fixing it!

Top 3 tunes: Modern Love, Let's Dance, Cat People (Putting Out Fire)

Arguably the Rocket Man's best album since "Scary Monsters". Without You and China Girl also good, but side two drops the ball badly.

For a moment there I thought he was cooking a sausage.
Of the last twelve authors who have won the Booker Prize, only two (Marlon James and Douglas Stuart) have published another novel since their win. Obviously very recent winners skew the stat, but still a surprising figure to me.

That difficult second Booker: the long-term impact of a win
