Cic Lan yr Archif

Want to see enormous mobile phones, an interpretive dance about nuclear power or a woman making butter in a tumble drier? Of course you do. You're only human.

I was part of the writing team for Elis James: Cic Lan Yr Archif. It's broadcast on Wednesday nights at 9.30pm on S4C and is then on BBC iPlayer afterwards - It's in Welsh, but there are English subtitles available. Episode 1 (Technology) is online now.

Comedian Elis James shares half a century worth of some of the funniest off cuts from welsh film and TV archive.. 👌

March 2018 - We Need To Talk... Again

We Need To Talk About... - Series 2 of Spotify's topical podcast is now well underway, with 6 episodes currently available and a new edition uploaded every Friday.

The show is presented by Jolyon Rubinstein with writing duties split between Jon Hunter and I, recording locations split between London and LA and writing locations split between London and other bits of London.

Zoopedia - Sue Perkins presents facts about animals, with assistance from Margaret Cabourn-Smith and Simon Kane, in this Audible Original series which I wrote with Gabby Hutchinson-Crouch, Jon Hunter.

I mentioned this on my blog before Christmas, but it turns out they hadn't actually been officially released back then and weren't really meant to be online - but now they are. It sounds like the sort of thing a record label might do to spark an underground hit, so it's good to see the technique applied to a bunch of facts about the Naked Mole Rat.

Top Gear - I'm also doing a little bit of work behind the scenes on the current series of Top Gear on BBC Two. After one recording, I returned to the car-park to find I had a flat-tyre and was given special permission to drive across the test track in my 8-year-old, bird-poo covered Ford Focus, in order to get to the garage to get air. Pretty sure that bit won't make the edit.
