Rather pleased with this little pairing - The new New Avengers set and (finally!) a lovely copy of The Jazz from UNCLE. Been after these for a while.

Paul Wilder’s adventures seem to come to a climax on Hull docks. Instead, they’re about to become so much more complex. Listen to episode 4 of The Divide, available as a free podcast, now. #audiodrama #spyfiction #audiofiction #podcast

Slowly driving towards Scotland with a playlist of 90s tunes. Her favourite so far is, apparently, Ebeneezer Goode.

Episodes 1 & 2 of The Divide are finally here and we can’t wait for you to hear it! If you’re up for some mind bendingly tense spyfi drama then you’ve come to the right place. #audiodramasunday #spyfiction

Discovered The Marquis of Anaon recently in my local library, published in the UK via @cinebook.bsky.social - absolutely gorgeous artwork and a compelling tale.

Something I’ve been working on for what feels like years is finally out in the open. I’ve got nothing but gratitude and awed amazement for all the people who’ve contributed both in front and behind the scenes.

Jon is brilliant and you should totally book him. ⬇️

This man is @slepkane.bsky.social. You will have heard him in The Monster Hunters. You will be hearing him in The Divide. He does a good line in difficult bosses. The Divide starts on Friday. #audiodrama #podcast #spy

Here’s EJ Martin! She’s been in MarsCorp! She’s been in Down! She’s been in Casualty! She’s being in* The Divide as June Dalton, an agent very interested in Paul Wilder’s experiences in East Berlin. The Divide starts in 1 week! #audiodrama #podcast #spyfiction *’being in’ is totally correct.

Check out the main cast for our upcoming spy #audiodrama podcast, The Divide! Mark Desebrock is ex-spy Paul Wilder. He’s tried to put his old life behind him, but too many people want to know how he survived his experiences in East Berlin…

Here’s the trailer for my new 12 part audio spy drama, The Divide, available as a podcast from 24th October. #audiodrama

Excited to finally launch my new audio drama from Definitely Human! The Divide is a 12 part spy thriller set in 1964 & arriving in your local branch of podcasts on 24th October. The art you can see here is by the amazing @bookcoversbyjon.bsky.social who is very much available for this kind of thing!

This is rather gorgeous. #blakeandmortimer

Might give this ‘The Silence of the Lambs’ film a try.

Trying to activate a Sky Stream Puck is the closest thing to torture I’ve ever experienced. It’s like being trapped in some kind of endless Kafkaesque nightmare.

Finally biting the bullet. I’m throwing away the tub of chilli powder we’ve had since we lived in Wakefield. In 2004.

Found in the bottom of my wardrobe - my old Manchester Youth Theatre T shirt. I can’t believe I still own it, much less that it still fits!

If you use We Transfer to send files, you really need to be aware of these terms and conditions. Guess I'm going to be looking for a new file transfer provider.

Also rather impressed by my 12 year old who, when set homework to do a speech and diorama about a hero, chose Emmeline Pankhurst.

What we did on our holidays. Think you’ve captured it amazingly, @emmgibbs.bsky.social

Not saying I’m tired but was just looking through the office window into the Manchester ship canal and saw something massive in it, only to realise it was a reflection of my shoe.

Nothing says glamour like sitting in your hotel room drinking cheap supermarket scotch and watching early 80s episodes of Bullseye.

Currently only standing due to the massive amount of tea that I’ve been mainlining since 11am.

First morning of Glastonbury for me and the view is looking good.

My 8 year old is on a classic Doctor Who binge at the moment. His main takeaway so far is, ‘why do the Daleks like mining?’

Thrilled that my voice has been resurrected for this collection of horrors from the archives on BBC Sounds. Listen now! If you dare…

Current Dick Barton serial has escalated from protection racket shenanigans to ‘watch out! There’s a killer gorilla!’ quite nonchalantly.

Is a really chilled out half-man, half-horse a zentaur?

My 8 year old has just presented me with a comic book he’s just written about a jazz playing warthog who fights some alien slime with horses and jazz.

Ceci n’est pas une pipe.

Wandering Manchester city centre after a very long time away. Hard not to feel nostalgic for those late 1990s MYT summers…

What a day. Due into Salford for work tomorrow hampered by an epic level signal failure at Reading. Leaving me going up tomorrow with no idea whether I have anywhere to sleep thanks to no one answering the phone at Salford Quays Premier Inn. Do I win a prize?

Freddie Freeloader from the most famous jazz album on the planet gets JazzTastic with @woodyroy underway today at 3pm on Humber Wave Radio. It leads nicely into trumpeter Jay Phelps who brings his band to play the Kind of Blue album in its entirety in York this week 1/2

Thrilled to see the Wife’s book in the Inverness branch of Waterstone’s! Feels only right and proper. @emmgibbs.bsky.social

The kids hunting otters like a 90s album cover.

One or two Gannets.

Seen in The Shetland Times Bookshop - the most northerly @gerryanderson.bsky.social books in the UK?

An altogether different derelict on Shetland.

On holiday.

Delayed and cancelled trains, late and disappearing buses. It’s like someone doesn’t want me to leave the village this weekend. I’ve been well and truly McGoohaned.

Death is a Woman is a film so laid back, even the chases are gentle strolls.

After spending the day on and off editing a podcast where I bang on about old ITC shows for far too long, it seems only fitting I watch Department S.

Dick Barton-a-thon has reached the one where Dick Barton’s dad turns up and asks Dick to dispose of a dead body and Dick’s like, ‘sounds legit. Let’s strip it and weight it and throw it in a river.’ Thankfully I have never had this experience with my own father.

Lots of new music on JazzTastic with @woodyroy today (3pm), including track from the new Chet Baker Re:Imagined album plus a track featuring Chet himself. Line-up includes Carl Allen, Michael Buckley, John Patitucci, Alison Rayner, Dayna Stephens, mxmtoon, Al Foster & Miles Davis

Just discovered an old Action Force toy of mine but I have no idea who this fella is supposed to be. Badly Applied Mascara and Crop-top Man?
