Everyone on here is banging on about Department Q on Netflix but Death Valley on BBC iPlayer is much better. Good comedy, sit back, have a glass of wine television. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Death Valley starts tonight at 8:15 on BBC1. Here I am half way up a mountain in the Brecon Beacons last summer. There are worse jobs.

Words Fail Me by @francesmckendrick.bsky.social is beautiful, painful and hugely resonant. I loved it. Seek it out.

To celebrate the broadcast of Death Valley on Sunday 25th at 8:15 on BBC1, here’s a photo of @pdoolan.bsky.social and I looking completely relaxed and normal.

Things I have done this weekend for all those asking…

JD Vance awakens, unsated. That one had barely any life force left in it at all. He googles 'faith leaders young healthy'.

Julia Murray stepped up to lead the matinee of Wild Rose @lyceumedinburgh.bsky.social today and absolutely smashed it!

MOVIE TRIVIA: For the scene in Bambi where his mother gets shot, they didn't tell the actors what was going to happen beforehand. What you see is their genuine reactions.

I had to leave the ceremony before this was announced so I could get the last train to Bristol for a tech recce.

This wee thing spent the morning dodging traffic on our road then wandered into our flat. I just took it to the vets to see if it was chipped and found out the owners live a few blocks away and ‘Mochi’ had been missing since yesterday. Mochi and owner now happily reunited.

#lastfour #filmsky Bergman Island and A Real Pain - 2 very different films about pilgrimages with almost identical posters.

I am very happy to announce new 2025 dates for The Letting Go workshop. After a break, The Letting Go is back. It is a wonderful start the creative year and a boost to your practice. The Letting Go workshop is a chance to reflect, let go, grow your network and produce new work. Info in thread…

5:40am train Edinburgh to London for readthru of next TV show…

90 mins well spent…

For 2 months of the year the sun doesn’t rise above the roofline opposite our flat. Then suddenly in February…

It’s been a good week. Couple of re-watches, couple of new faves. #lastfour #filmsky

Here’s something Jake and I made when we were much younger (2021)

#lastfour Sixth Sense ageing very well. Rotting in the Sun is hilarious.

The Spirit Collection

EDINBURGH! Let’s make #TheGirlWithANeedle a sellout this weekend at The Cameo! It’s on limited release so I’ll be there on Friday at 2.15pm to delve deep into this dark fairytale and celebrate the work of my great friend and brilliant writer @linelangebek.bsky.social PLEASE JOIN ME!

Two great bits of local news in @edinburghminute.bsky.social this morning: Summerhall’s future looks secured and Gorgie City Farm is set to reopen.

Which one of you bellends viciously attacked my foot at 4am?

The Substance making-of doc is fascinating. Just don’t do a me and watch over breakfast. youtu.be/4gJyalbcVvU?...

Sooo good!

Very excited to see Death Valley in the @thetimes.com 25 shows to look forward to in 2025.

[friend reading over my Netflix script] FRIEND: ugh those executives. They want people who are barely watching to still be able to follow along, so they've forced you to make your characters talk so unnaturally and state their motivations without subtext ME: [sweating] yes. It was the executives.

The Frozen Treats section of my local Scot-Mid since Brexit…

He’s making a list Of people to shoot But nobody minds Coz he’s really cute etc

Another missive.

Anyone know an anagram of “differing anoraks”? Asking for a friend.

Thank you card from the producer I’ve spent the last 9 months working with.

Hard relate
