I really enjoyed diving back into Peter Jackson's #TheHobbit trilogy for @onerulesthemall.bsky.social. Here's our discussion on the final film, The Battle of the Five Armies!

Two new podcast episodes to start the new year! In contributed to the latest episode of Den of Ten, counting down my top 10 TV shows of 2025!

My last Christmas present arrived! @bazgreenland.bsky.social

I'm so proud of this podcast I launched this year. I've had some amazing conversations with wonderful guests about great #television seasons, ranging from #BuffytheVampireSlayer to #TwinPeaks, #TheWestWing, #Westworld, #Hannibal, #Alias, #Cracker and more Thanks to everyone who has listened so far!

But it was also great fun to return to Make It So later this year to talk the almighty Way of the Warrior on its 30th anniversary ##StarTrek ##StarTrekDeepSpaceNine

I love the #Romulans in ##StarTrekTNG, so this was a fun discussion to end my tenure as cohost of Make It So!

And this was a fun exploration of the much more successful #Section31 from #StarTrekDeepSpaceNine!

This was a lot of fun, talking my love of playing #MortalKombat with @ncc17formula1.bsky.social!

Enjoyed a few days away from work and writing over Christmas. Now to make a start on the next chapter of my book on fantasy adaptations to the screen! #fantasy #writing #author

Indulging in the greatest of #Christmas Eve traditions...

WB: What do you have planned for Batman 2? Tim Burton: We open on a newborn baby boy WB: Aww TB: No. The baby is ugly. He kills and eats a house cat while it's still alive. His parents try to kill him in his crib, but to Gotham's woe, they fail WB: ... TB: Also it's a Christmas movie

It’s made my Christmas being a part of this, and having my name in print. :)

Thrilled to be part of this one.

My final podcast episode of the year sees Ben, Matt and I dissect the new #DoctorWho spin-off #TheWarBetweentheLandandtheSea

As it's #Christmas tomorrow, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who bought my new book, #DoctorWho Christmas Specials from @candyjarbooks.bsky.social. It celebrates every festive special from 2005's The Christmas Invasion until 2024's Joy to the World. www.freewebstore.org/candy-jar-st...

This is a seminal album for me. A lot of my love of music stemmed from listening to #ManicStreetPreachers' Everything Must Go. It was an absolute pleasure to chat about it with @mattjlatham.bsky.social on the latest episode of @pickadisc.bsky.social! open.spotify.com/episode/3TC3...

This was such a lovely chat about a lovely show! Violet and I talk #GilmoreGirls season 5 in the latest episode of TV's Greatest Seasons
