Ah, there’s nothing I like better than to gather the family around me and watch my phone footage of fireworks displays from years gone by.

90 seconds in and we've already got Mr Blobby doing Riverdance. What a immense explosion of fun for a Saturday morning. 🤩

Remember, remember… that I wrote an episode of Missy in which she makes sure the gunpowder plot *works* this time so she can install herself as Queen👑 (It was fun to write, this one.) www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/m... @bigfinish.bsky.social

A movie you've seen more than 7 times with a gif

Just when I thought the Map Men book couldn’t be any more up my street, I turn the page & there’s a chapter on the ITV regional franchises. 🤩 @jayforeman.bsky.social @markcooperjones.bsky.social

Off to Foxhill Drive to try living with impossible. 👻

Can a children's TV show be cursed? Do you dare click on our Halloween special episode to find out? (Please do dare.) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/8...

More than Ghostwatch, the finale of Paul Daniels: Live at Halloween 1987 scared the SHIT out of me as a kid. The slam of the iron maiden, the horrifying silence, the voice of a floor manager asking everyone to leave. And then silent credits. Incredible television. www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5R0...

Meine Lieblinge! Is that me you can hear as Dr Marta Baumgartner in this year’s Beef & Dairy Halloween special BEEF PIE? 🥧 (Yes)

🐄 Surprise! This year’s Beef and Dairy Network Halloween Special was written by me, Roger Westco- I mean, Tom Crowley! Salivate over BEEF PIE, on the Beef and Dairy podcast feed RIGHT NOW! 🥧 @beefanddairy.bsky.social

This is the best episode yet. I love Leyline High Rewind so much! An absolute must-listen for Halloween! 👻

So many weird goings-on on the set of Leyline High... Which rumour was the talk of your school? I remember hearing that there was a poltergeist haunting the studio where they filmed- and it repeatedly threw props at the actors. But it turned out to be a disgruntled floor manager.

Frog put the cookies in a box. “There,” he said. “Now we will not eat any more cookies.” “But we can open the box,” said Toad. “That is true,” said Frog.

Excited for people to listen to this one! Everyone’s heard of the Leyline High Curse. It was the talk of playgrounds up & down the country. But is it real? The team and I investigate… A Leyline High Rewind Halloween Special 👻

It's here! Our Halloween special & the most in-depth investigation into the Leyline High Curse there's ever been! If you're strong of stomach and don't scare easily, click and listen 👇 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/8...

Our Halloween special drops tomorrow! 👻 Is the Leyline High Curse real? We investigate...

Red Dwarf was a pretty big part of my life when I was growing up. It taught me so much about comedy writing. So it was an honour to be invited back onto the Better than Life podcast to talk about Out of Time, the final ep of series 6 & the last Grant/Naylor written episode. pca.st/episode/981c...

I can’t make a living writing any type of media but the people who can’t afford to pay me to write the media can still make billions a year selling the media they can’t afford to pay me to write.

New Strictly hosts.

Macbeth doth murder frizz.

The respect that Film is Fabulous shows to these film & TV archivists & their vast, much-loved collections built up over decades is just beautiful. Do give this whole ep a listen, it’s so interesting. I know we’re all eager to know what Who is on its way but there’s a really lovely story behind it.

Alexei Sayle's Stuff (19th October 1989). A lot more work goes into the production of each episode of Stuff than you might expect.

“Every single role in this TV drama, even the bit parts, MUST be played by big time A-list names.” “Omg, WHY is this show so expensive to make??”

Of course women don't like the Cybertruck. Women only want one thing, and it's Bessie.

What’s your favourite TV ident? It’s tough cos there are so many gorgeous ones but I love the rare Thames Television night time ident. 🦇👻 youtu.be/FoTjzF59TeU?...

Great thread on multi-camera TV. I think partly this is down to the absolute obsession with realism, often to the exclusion of all other forms of expression. Anything even slightly heightened or, god forbid, theatrical is seen as dated.

YOU DON’T THINK I ALREADY FEEL LIKE I LIVE IN BOLOGNA?? 🍝

In our latest episode we discuss the legendary Leyline High episode Harvest Scare-stival from 1984. (You remember? It's the one with the Corn-on-the-Cob Monster that kills the dinnerlady?) And we also get onto the subject of our favourite autumnal hymns. 🍂

NEW EPISODE! This month we're looking at Harvest Scare-stival (1984), a fan favourite episode. Pippa finds a strange unlabelled tin at the back of the cupboard & takes it to school for harvest festival. But she's not prepared for the evil it unleashes. www.gemmaarrowsmith.com/leylinehigh/...

NEW LEYLINE HIGH REWIND IN YOUR PODCAST FEED LATER TODAY! Uploading 3:30pm (home time) This month: a Harvest Festival Special!

Writing fiction in the third person past tense is starting to feel as stubbornly anachronistic as making studio sitcoms with a laughter track.

Woohooo! Listen to me with PAUL PUTNER in Crowley Time Live at the London Podcast Festival. Action! Intrigue! And so many accents!

If Halloween movies were like Christmas movies. Haley Ween is a go-getting lawyer specialising in trick-or-treat fraud who doesn't need any man living or undead to make her happy. But she wasn't banking on running into pumpkin farmer Raymond Pumpkin-Spice who's about to teach her the true meaning of

The Zombie School Cup Final episode was a landmark episode, particularly the bit when Biffo's arms came off in goal.

Advice from Harry Hill 💛

Like Holmes himself climbed out of the books and leapt over the sofa to Watson.

2055. TV shows are now half an episode per season. You get a season every 9 years. It’s made by 17 production companies and costs half the GDP of the G7.

Post a female character you love.

In the last episode we did a rundown of Leyline High actors who had pop careers. Are there any we missed?

Ever since watching the Unpleasant World of Penn & Teller back in the 90s I’ve wanted to see P&T live. Tonight I got the chance at the Palladium and WOW the finale was just 🤯

Alright, because you demanded it, here we go: 🌟 MY TOP TEN LINE DELIVERIES FROM ‘THE STONE TAPE’ (BBC2, 1972) 🌟 10. “We got a ghost.”

Bit of a wish fulfilled. Went to see the new Alan Ayckbourn premiere in Scarborough last night. Ayckbourn himself sitting in the audience making notes. It’s his NINETY-FIRST PLAY. Incredible! Congratulations to @haydenwood3390.bsky.social for a brilliant opening night!

We have a lead on one of the Leyline High show creators! If you have any ideas on how we could reunite these famously reclusive writers, do get in touch. We think Jacqueline "Jackie" Jackson might be running an antiques shop somewhere in the Wirral but this is unconfirmed.

Sad news Red Dwarf fans, and if you read a bit further, comedy fans in general. UKTV no longer commissioning any scripted comedy.

Thanks to everyone who came along to Crowley Time Live yesterday! Those of you who didn’t, oh boy, you missed out! Thanks also to my wonderful guests @odinnoh.bsky.social, Chiara Goldsmith and Andy Secombe (pictured), and to @lordhurk.bsky.social for the beautiful show art (also pictured)!
