Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching. Season 2? Hmm... you're not the first to ask 🤞🏽

Really impressed with DEPARTMENT Q so far. So cool to see so many talented people working in a really well crafted Netflix drama. Really impressive production, the Edinburgh locations, the music, and of course the writing... It's the coolest thing and I'm glad it's out! Well done to all involved!

Attended the cast and crew screening of Dept Q (ep. 1) last night. 5 stars! For those with a keen eye, catch me in a few episodes. Just don't blink ;) Thanks to director Scott Frank for the opportunity, and my agent Rozzy at Narrow Road for arranging the meetings.

There should be no doubt about the danger Reform poses in Scotland. It has reach across large sections of society, across class divides and demographics. It will win seats here. It may even become the party of opposition in Holyrood. It is not England, it is here. Ignoring it won't make it go away.

Thank you to everyone who came along to the private screening of my short film, KINAARA, at the Glasgow Film Theatre last week. Congratulations to cast and crew, without whom it would not have been possible to transform the film from script to screen. www.nationaltheatrescotland.com/events/kinaara

Jack, thank you for your praise and for coming along. It was great to finally share the film with a wider audience.

Looking forward to sharing my short film, KINAARA, at the preview screening next week for cast, crew and invited guests.

I'm ranting again. This time about my reduced screen time on jobs that were already bit parts.

My short film, KINAARA, produced by @ntsonline.bsky.social, is complete. More info: www.nationaltheatrescotland.com/events/kinaara #film #shortfilm #dementia #southasian #supportindiefilm

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

Thanks for your support, Brian :) Great to see you here too.

If you know, you know.

It has been a week since I completed a sold out run of 'Miracle on Deanston Drive' at Oran Mor in Glasgow. Missing the routine and the fantastic team! #theatre

That other place was (to paraphrase Obi Wan Kenobi): "a wretched hive of scum and villainy".
