Watched with delight the first three episodes of 'Leonard & Hungry Paul' adapted from the novel by Rónán Hession. Beautifully scripted, designed, directed and acted by a superb cast, it has all the warmth and generosity of the original and some extra gags. Gorgeous.

Could I just a huge thanks and pay tribute to the wonderful work of
@richieconroy.bsky.social
and Mark Hodkinson who wrote the script for the Leonard and Hungry Paul series. Aside from it being a sensitive adaptation also they brought so many brilliant ideas of their own to it. Am hugely grateful.

If you missed Arena so far this week, I talked to Mark Ronson about his book on DJing in 90s New York, Eimear McBride reviewed Waiting For Godot on Broadway, Alex Lawther told me about playing Leonard in Leonard And Hungry Paul (and his love for cheese toasties in Grogan's)...

Ag caitheamh an tráthnóna Sa Pholl Báite. Clúdach an-mhealltach deartha ag Clifford Hayes. Thaitin úrscéal eile a scríobh Anna - Buille Marfach - marfach go mór liom. Ag tnúth go mór leis an gceann seo.
