An incredible range, an incredible run. Still can't believe they gave me that break all those years ago. And since then I've loved working with Goss - an superb writer, mentor, friend.

But it's not over yet! I started with Torchwood, and I'm ending with Torchwood Legacy. Watch this space.

Oooh, I mean I have my own ideas about this, but I refuse to be drawn on it! Timelines in a Time War are a funny thing aren't they, that's something I'm pondering on a Who I'm currently writing!

Cracking new (albeit Mamet-indebted) comedy with fangs where Alastair Michael’s professor and Matt Holt’s Dean, who moves twitchily like a velociraptor, play an absurd game of brinksmanship that spirals as they devolve into beasts, finishing with one of Foley’s characteristically brilliant endings

We have our first preview of JURASSIC today! It’s a closed one for freshers and students. I’m buzzed that our first showings for this are on a university campus, it’s taking my Oleanna With Dinosaurs premise to a whole new level…
