Watched with delight the first three episodes of 'Leonard & Hungry Paul' adapted from the novel by Rónán Hession. Beautifully scripted, designed, directed and acted by a superb cast, it has all the warmth and generosity of the original and some extra gags. Gorgeous.

Could I just a huge thanks and pay tribute to the wonderful work of @richieconroy.bsky.social and Mark Hodkinson who wrote the script for the Leonard and Hungry Paul series. Aside from it being a sensitive adaptation also they brought so many brilliant ideas of their own to it. Am hugely grateful.

Nice write-up of the Leonard and Hungry Paul TV show which is on iPlayer now-ish (I don't have access to the iPlayer so not sure) and which is on BBC Northern Ireland tonight at 9pm; BBC 2 on Monday.

Hope you enjoy it.

If you missed Arena so far this week, I talked to Mark Ronson about his book on DJing in 90s New York, Eimear McBride reviewed Waiting For Godot on Broadway, Alex Lawther told me about playing Leonard in Leonard And Hungry Paul (and his love for cheese toasties in Grogan's)...

Go raibh maith agat a Dara.

Watch Fran the Man in cinemas this Easter.
This is a delight, and full of funny people. In cinemas in Ireland now. Also, more films should be set in Sallynoggin.

Go raibh míle maith agat a Matt. Tá súil agam go dtaitneoidh an tríú leabhar leat 😊
Are you or someone in your life learning Irish and wish you had something fun to read? @richieconroy.bsky.social’s book An Jailtecht: Dialann Emily Porter is a lovely bilingual story of a young girl who spends her summer in the Gaeltacht in the mid-90s, and ramps up the Irish as you read.
