Please tune in for this doc on 15th March on BBC4 at 10, which I had the privilege of helping bring to the screen. Microdisney were a phenomenal band who didn’t get the recognition they deserved and in some small way this will hopefully help to address that

@thebillbackontv @onthebill999 Thanks Paul, it was a great show to write.

[brian b. thompson @brianbthompson]

@thebillbackontv @onthebill999 @UKTVPlay Thanks Paul, good to know. And, funnily enough, I did think of that episode recently because I went past the pub they used as a location.

@thebillbackontv @onthebill999 Weird little episode wasn’t it? I don’t know what I was thinking!

Just in from @BBCRadio4Extra and @BBCRadio4. We are ‘absolutely smashing it’ on @BBCSounds. Over two million listens last year, putting us ahead of almost all other shows. https://t.co/w6Wkq2VJj4

Canny news! I had the pleasure of writing Byker Grove for several years - an amazing experience working with great people.

[antanddec @antanddec]

We hope you’re as psyche(d) as us for this comeback 🥳 #Byker

[brian b. thompson @brianbthompson]

This is Derek showing me around @NYTransitMuseum when I visited last month. What a guy! What a place!

[brian b. thompson @brianbthompson]

@antanddec Canny news, like! I wrote 50 episodes of Byker Grove so if I can be any help let us know. @mitrestudios @Fulwell73 @antanddec

I couldn’t get a ticket for Paradise Now @bushtheatre so I read the play script @mapperry instead. But it’s just made me want to see it more. Bring back Paradise. Now!

@Mazzern @TakeoneUk No more than my favourite copper-topped Cornish creative deserves.
