I was 9. My parents watched it and I started watching the episode AFTER the killer was revealed. Anyway, 9 year-old me watching Cooper going into the Black Lodge to save Annie was almost certainly where my love of horror began. I then collected all the #TwinPeaks VHS tapes, and eventually on disk

Have completed a second draft on the first part of my book on fantasy adaptations to the screen, covering the genre and #Middle-earth. I've been brutal - 6,300 words cut - but it's coming together very nicely. Now on to a re-edit on #Narnia... #Writing #TheLordoftheRings #Tolkien

Wonderful evening at the Roath Writers anthology book launch at Porters ,Cardiff. Lovely to hear so many pieces read out load. Had a great audience reaction to PC Chicken and a reprise of Winter Fucking Sports at the open mic segment. Also delighted with PC Chicken warranting its own bookmark too!

This was such a fun season to kick off the podcast. Can't believe season 2 starts next week! #BuffytheVampireSlayer #television #Podcast

Spending the afternoon with The Black Riders of Mordor for my book on fantasy adaptations, looking at how Ralph Bakshi and Peter Jackson's #TheLordoftheRings adapt the journey from the Shire to Rivendell. It's interesting just how close these two films are to eachother... #Writing #Tolkien #LOTR

Really enjoyed delving into the first #TheHobbit movie with the two Sams on @onerulesthemall.bsky.social!

Ben and I recap on the Adventures in Time and Space exhibition, the future of #DoctorWho and our new book - Doctor Who Christmas Specials- in our latest episode!

Wonderful day at the final day of the Adventures in Time and Space at Peterborough Museum today with @alternate13th.bsky.social and @shaunrussell.bsky.social So many great #DoctorWho costumes and props to explore, and lovely to hear Sylvester McCoy chat once more about his career!

A year ago, Nobody’s House was awarded Book of the Month by The Book Council of Wales. Still so chuffed with the response to my book, and @candyjarbooks.bsky.social for their support. Maybe, I might even write a sequel? My journey as an author is still just beginning...

I've has some really great discussions in this second season of @tvsgreatestseasons.bsky.social. 10 more great seasons of television - coming next month!

First time watch of #Barbarian this evening. I loved #Weapons and was intrigued to see if Zach Cregger's previous effort was just as good. Loved it! Kept me on my toes. Great horror, cinematography and sets, with a strong soundtrack Intrigued to see what Cregger brings to the #horror genre next!

Last four #horrormovies watched. Not a bad batch for #Halloween. What shall I watch next?

It was a delight to return to @jeanlucpodard.bsky.social and talk about the iconic #StarTrekDeepSpaceNine episode Way of the Warrior on its 30th anniversary with @ncc17formula1.bsky.social & @rmuldrake.bsky.social #StarTrek #Podcast

Well done, Caerphilly! Really hope this is a sign of things to come. There is so much noise about Reform, but glad the majority chose not to go down the racist, hateful route.

A great discussion on a great episode of #Babylon5! Our discussion on Messages from Earth is now live!

A great discussion from our upcoming episode of @adreamgivenform.bsky.social! #Babylon5

After giving up on it twice, I've just finished #dunemessiah. I wanted to love this book, but I really, really struggled. It had none of the epic grandeur of #Dune. A short story dragged out over nearly 300 pages where barely anything happens. I have no idea how the 3rd Dune movie will adapt this

🇺🇸 🔥 That. Was. Impressive. We are watching America reassert itself and its values from the grassroots up. The world saw you and we have huge hope invested in you.

Great time at the @candyjarbooks.bsky.social stall with @shaunrussell.bsky.social today at #filmandcomicconcardiff chatting #DoctorWho with lots of fans. I even signed and sold a few of my books! #FilmandComicCon
