[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

Hugh Laurie is phenomenally good as Richard ‘Dickie’ Roper in The Night Manager. He steals every single scene. One of the best villains ever seen on TV. And better than any James Bond villain.

This from @MarkHaddon1962 in @TheTimes. As Cyril Connolly might suggest, there is no more sombre enemy of good art than a mother’s disapproval of bad language.😆

[Ravengate Publishing @Ravengate_]

One of those stories that makes you think: OK, this is it. This is how it ends for us.

Sci-fi writers, your synthetic biology “what ifs” are about to become reportage.

Shorter chapters don’t mean broken readers. 📚
They mean books are absorbing the pace of film and TV.
Narrative rhythm is cultural, not cognitive.
Dickens set the tempo of his age. Today, screens do.

The universe may be maths.
But humans are story.
Our new blog on story as the interface between finite minds and an infinite cosmos. From James Webb to Hamlet, and why narrative is how meaning survives.

🎄Dickens didn’t just write a Christmas story. He wrote THE Christmas story. Why A Christmas Carol became the story we tell every year - and what's going on under the bonnet – structure, ghosts, redemption and all.

Train Dreams is a quiet, beautifully crafted film about endurance - and it might be a future classic, given time. Read the review:

Why do Western stories look the way they do?
Why linear heroes, tidy arcs, and “progress”?
We dug into the origins of our storytelling instincts – and found out what we lost along the way.

We think the three-act structure is universal, but most of the world tells stories very differently. Cyclical time, communal heroes, porous reality… it’s a reminder that Western storytelling is just one worldview. Here's what we're missing.

Stories aren’t just entertainment - they’re empathy technology. ❤️
We’ve been using them for thousands of years to rehearse choices, feel consequences and understand each other.
How does it work?

Once, footnotes existed to prove the truth. 🔍
Then novelists got hold of them.
Now they build worlds, hide jokes, and sometimes overstay their welcome.

📣 REVIEW | THE UNKILLABLE MIKE MALLOY at the Bridge House Theatre

🎭 ⭐️⭐️⭐️½

💬 “a noir pastiche, a caper, a Pink Panther-esque rollcall of mishaps, long shadows and sharp reversals”
