Good insight here from Sophie in the trenches/at the coalface/some further metaphors

This is the trailer for the latest show my sister @susanconnolly.bsky.social has worked on. The first episode of The Iris Affair will premiere on Sky / Now TV on Thurs 16Oct. youtu.be/Ck1P_Lcuxv0 (Ahhhhhh!)

👀 It me. Writey writey. (Yes yes the actual writing was done ages ago because of the nature of TV production and also of linear time. But still!) #TheIrisAffair #HiddenAssetsTV

So helpful and convenient to be able to just use Carol's posts instead of initiating my own promo 😁

A book for all time! Check it out!

I would destroy these Olympians in a Supermarket Sweep. Not at any actual sport obvs, but at competitiveconsumption? I would be a star #LateLateToyShow

Ohhhh Jonny was gonna toss the ball with him but Patrick got in the way! I hope they get a chance to do it back stage #LateLateToyShow

Hahaha they didn't even draw out the Sexton reveal. Just liek, fuck this cardboard cutout - heeeeere's Jonny! #LateLateToyShow

Over the moon that the kids are so engaged by the books and getting the time to share that with Patrick and the viewers. The interviewing all show has been class, but it's so vital for this segment #LateLateShow

(Taking a weary drag from a cigarette) That was a long time ago, Alan. A different life. A simpler time. When everything I wanted was right there in front of me. (She looks away, unable to meet his gaze) I'm too tall for the red and yellow pedal car now...

This is about the time the excitement and the sugar high can no longer overcome the "way past bedtime" barrier... #LateLateToyShow

The ride-on parade has such a grip on my soul - I'm giving my godchild a mercedes g63 in wine red for Christmas - she might have only learned to walk recently, but my god she will ride in style!! #LateLateToyShow

Pretty sure I went to Veterinary College with Kevin #LateLateToyShow

Free range eggs straight from the farm! Kevin knows the way to my heart #LateLateToyShow

OH NO A TECHNICAL FAULT! Good on her for not getting rattled #LateLateToyShow

I'd trade in those passes for some space seeds if I could to be honest #LateLateToyShow

Imagine if they got the question wrong about where it is and they didnt let them go #LateLateToyShow

Leo 🤩 #LateLateToyShow

Nice to see the future of the arts so strong in Ireland - class work from Leo there ##latelatetoyshow

(I would like some seeds that have been to space if there are any going spare) #latelatetoyshow

Zara is fully 100% like - yeah you stay down here and build, I AM GOING TO SPACE #Latelatetoyshow

Yesssss Norah!!!! Best celeb meeting their fans EVER #Latelatetoyshow

IS NORAH IN THE ROCKET #Latelatetoyshow

Oh my god is Norah gonna come out and meet them? Please please #latelatetoyshow

Zara honestly seems a bit concerned by the fact Patrick doesnt know basic principles of spacecraft engineering #latelatetoyshow

YESSSS TINY CHILD IN A LAB COAT SPOUTING SPACE FACTS #LateLateToyShow

If Patrick falls ill I think Brian Óg is positioning himself to step into his place. I for one would not complain (no shade to Patrick but Brian Óg gives him a run for his money) #Latelatetoyshow

Shout out to John Joe!!! #LateLateToyShow

Loving Georgie Mae's unflinchingly honest reviews of all toys that "don't really do very much". The hero we need #LateLateToyShow

Puppy! #LateLateToyShow

Love seeing the kids get a bit of time to demo the toys and talk about what they think of them. #Latelatetowshow

That guitarist is a real performer - such energy and intensity! #latelatetoyshow

Transfer patterns from 2020. Interesting to compare with the #exitpoll #GE2024 #GE24 #VoteLeftTransferLeft (I wonder did it?) rpubs.com/Ian_W_Richar...

Lovely lovely writerly Christmas party at @sarahreesbrennan.bsky.social 's this evening catching up with @hawkwinglb.bsky.social , @hcor.bsky.social , @susanconnolly.bsky.social and other friends old and new (who I haven't found on here yet). Exhausted now! But happy exhausted.

New column from me on the weird science of celebrity worship and why it now seems to drive the entire economy: jasonpargin.substack.com/p/celebrity-...

Nothing quite like the warm fuzzy feeling of a notes call where all the notes make sense and are well thought out and elevate the script :) #scriptsky (note - I'm Irish and this is for an Irish production. No scabs here #IStandWithTheWGA)
