Very excited by this. It would be right up my street to write for it. Bite-size, mad-cap, fun, educational, inclusive, warm adventures in time and space. #scriptskyuk #doctorwho www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...
Well I never!

OTD six years ago, my first EastEnders episode. Loved working on that show. Taught me SO much. #scriptskyuk
Finally had it with the bird place and it wasn't even the Nazis that depressed me. Been backing off the socials a bit lately and my MH is thanking me. I'm more fun IRL anyway. 😅
So! I'm thinking of retitling my gritty drama spec "Edge". But, serious question, what does that title conjour up for you? #scriptsky #scriptyskyuk
Noted. 😅
Is it me or is there a lot of smoking on telly again? Between Black Doves and Strike I can feel bronchitis coming on. (I grew up with parents that smoked. I've always hated it and it devalues any protagonist for me. So there.)

My festive treat atm is The Box Of Delights on iplayer. 40 years old, I *think* I saw it first time round. Charming and comforting with old fashioned cliffhangers that make my telly heart flutter. What are you watching this Christmas? #scriptskyuk
Just got back from #WickedMovie yes, it's a tad long but what a spectacle. My musical soul has been thoroughly nourished and my spirits are defying gravity. 🤗🧹
Just pressed send on my last deadline for the year. And with that, I'm downing tools. There will still be writing but nothing pressured. I'm taking some time off. Laters and merry Christmas. #scriptskyuk
Great to see you all 🤗
You're welcome. Hope it gets a second series.
And don't forget The Lazarus Project 👍
Just finished Black Doves on Nextflix. Well done @joebarton.bsky.social Great characters, big stakes, cracking wit. And great to see my home town on display. Perfect pre-Christmas viewing.
Good morning world.

Was in the company of some fantastic writers yesterday and was reminded that I'm passionate and angry with opinions and perspectives that are uniquely mine. Sometimes in the rush to get out a new script I think I've been forgetting to focus on that. #scriptskyuk
Just started Black Doves on Netflix. Strong and slick with some great characters. Well done @joebarton.bsky.social
I will have a very saucy script for him 😅
He sounds very sexy. I've been getting him to say stuff 😅😅
What's happened to the google assistant voice? My phonr has turned into Mark Strong! 😳
Ah! Sorry, just spotted you're in Glasgow. Bit far to come for one night.
There's one on 14th Dec (I can't go) londonswf365.com/the-annual-f...
They usually do a networking course in the run-up to it. The good thing is that everyone has a name badge and is super approachable (delegates and speakers) so it takes a lot of the anxiety out of it. Of course, if you're only going for networking there are cheaper n/working evenings 1/2
Just had the most energizing and affirming zoom meeting. I don't suffer from imposter syndrome (I think!) but I'm always amazed when someone compliments my writing. 🤗

I've been as a delegate and speaker. It has an energising vibe. Apply for the extras like table reads/ labs. Be strategic about the sessions you need, the people you want to talk to and network with the other delegates, they're you new peer group.
