@skillagesteve.bsky.social thank you for the write up of The Magnificent O’Connors in Creamguide. Earlier this year another pod I worked on ended up in Popbitch, but nothing beats the validation of a Creamguide mention.

Blimey!

WARNING: This podcast contains Russell Harty, Ken Loach learning a shocking truth about George Sewell, FMB from C4’s The Next Big Thing, the Kray Twins, The Wednesday Play and a gripping tale of a family trying to overturn an 80-year-old murder conviction www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/serie...

Thanks a nice piece. I'm looking forward to the series immensely. With apologies to Jack for the hijack, but if anyone is interested in James O'Connor's TV plays, I wrote about them all (and what I could learn of his life) some years ago: www.britishtelevisiondrama.org.uk?p=6983

Friends - this Kickstarter is worth backing. A brilliantly researched and beautifully produced podcast on the history of comics. www.kickstarter.com/projects/gra...

Happy heavenly birthday TV Cream 😥 @skillagesteve.bsky.social @jackkibble-white.bsky.social

My pal @graemeburk.bsky.social is launching a new podcast about comics. The first episodes tell the story of Siegel and Shuster and feature some breakthrough research. I've heard his work in progress and it's incredible. Find out more here... www.kickstarter.com/projects/gra...

Watched Destination X last night. I thought the format didn’t really work. Seemingly, the contestants need to have no idea where they are, so the clues are 3-2-1 level difficult and therefore pointless (as demonstrated by the fact the contestant who got the most clues was the one eliminated).

Paging the Gra/e/h/a/e/m/es @gkw.bsky.social and @graemeburk.bsky.social. I’m reading a book about Mort Meskin and found this sidebar particularly interesting: stevenbrowerwritings.wordpress.com/2012/01/25/a...

What is the charge? Walking a path? A succulent salt path?

Lovely Ace of Wands vibes

Came across what appears to be an early Ainley

Dear Bluesky, is it known if the Brigadier’s surname was inspired by a real-life Lethbridge? I have one in mind but cannot find anything to corroborate that it’s him. Thank you

I still really like Genius Game. I think by the end of the series they might just be broadcasting it for me

Am I the only person on the internet enjoying The Genius Game?

Severance is very enjoyable. I think of it as Lost meets Tales from the Loop. That’s not inaccurate is it?

Brilliant book, brilliant author and she has amazing cats too

All episodes out today. What a great podcast from my pals at BBC Radio Northampton with (as ever) brilliant music and sound design from Julian Corrie. This was very rewarding to work on: bbc.co.uk/sounds/series/…

TODAY’S THE DAY! Radio Free Skaro: Mystery Science Theatre 1000, with special guests STEVEN MOFFAT and JULIE GARDNER! Program A at 1pm at Gallifrey One! #gally1

"A day in the life of this autistic person" This was a tricky one to make - partly because there's A LOT of shots in it, but mostly because it left me feeling a little vulnerable. Hope y'all like it. #ActuallyAutistic www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDSv...

The synopsis for every Adam Curtis series

The final episode broadcast today - the whole series is available on BBC Sounds

Child sexual abuse in institutions, cultural changes, organised cover-up... and how we could make children safer today. All episodes/series of In Dark Corners now on BBC Sounds, Spotify, Apple Podcasts etc. @mandatenow.bsky.social @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

A beauty

It’s Tom Baker’s birthday and here’s a drawing to prove it

I believe we need to talk openly about these things without shame or embarrassment: tomorrow I’m having a hysterectomy to treat the disabling endometriosis that’s stolen the concentration that lets me write & slowly narrowed my whole life to a pinpoint. So goodnight womb, you total nuisance bastard🖕🏻

I worked on this story as part of the BBC Audio Scotland & NI team. An incendiary document drops into the inbox of journalist Alex Renton and kicks off a jaw-dropping investigation into the Paedophile Information Exhange. It’s a tough, but extraordinary listen. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand...

A couple of shots that we couldn't fit into the expanded edition of Adventures in Type and Space… Sid Sutton's 1980s Doctor Who recreated in 3D by the uber-talented @jackkibble-white.bsky.social – enjoy!

I've updated my portfolio to kick off the new year. Take a look… www.behance.net/stuartmanning

We're back for a new year of great books. The Sid Sutton Collection has now been dispatched and the collected Adventures in Type and Space hardback will be sent out next week. The Sid Sutton supplement is now sold out, but we have a few discounted damaged copies left. tenacrefilms.bigcartel.com

A lovely old Radio Times enamel sign I got from a Glasgow antique place some years ago

Thanks to all our friends and readers for their support in 2024. See you in January for the new expanded hardback edition of Adventures in Type and Space. 🎥 Video by @jackkibble-white.bsky.social

Short animation to promote Seeking the Light on BBC Radio 4. Made in Blender. The artwork here was created by Seonaid Mackay.

Yet more old Blender stuff. @radiofreeskaro.bsky.social Live Show at Gallifrey One ident. Made in Blender. I think the Dalek voice is @legopolis.bsky.social

Title sequence for @perfectnightin.bsky.social podcast. Made in Blender, mainly by stretching a photo of tower block round some geometry. Music by John Callaghan. TV titles by @gkw.bsky.social.

This was a test I did for the BBC. An animated cold open to episode 5 of The Missing Madonna podcast - made in Blender. I ended up animating half of that episode. It was fun to do.

Missing Madonna podcast trail minus music and VO - made in Blender

Another old Blender project. This time a little video sting for The Gallery of the Underrated from @graemeburk.bsky.social's Reality Bomb podcast.

Clearing up my hard drive. Here's a shot I made in Blender for a podcast we made at the BBC about the Bible John murders. All of the assets, with the exception of the taxi, were actually 2D images mapped across simple bits of geometry.
