#Adolescence Have just binged all four episodes. Wow. Close to perfection in all aspects. The script, the single camera direction, the performances. Mind blowing. I can't get episode 3 out of my mind. Disturbing and compelling. Please watch it. #TVDrama #Netflix #screenwriting

TO EVALUATE A SCRIPT, FIRST SEE HOW IT MAKES YOU FEEL When you finish reading a script, don’t just jump into the mental chatter of trying to figure it out. Sit with it. See how it makes you feel. Don’t rush it. There’s no right answer. You’ll feel its weak spots. Then figure it out script.kitchen

I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has wished me congratulations on my First Look win this week. I know I couldn't get around to responding to everyone, but having the support of my community means so much to me. I can already tell next year will be a busy one. I can't wait. #Scriptsky

WAIT — I WON?! 🤯🏆 Christmas came early when I learned that my horror feature script CADER IDRIS won Best Screenplay at the Wales International Film Festival!!

Watched THE SUBSTANCE. One of the very best and most insane films of the year. Demi Moore goes for broke in this captivating look at a faded movie star's obsession with youth. It's the kind of smart horror that I love. Check it out on MUBI (or in theaters if still showing)!

It's here! The first trailer for the Making Lemonade Podcast! The series will launch in January 2025 Huge thanks to @ianmcullen for helping to make it happen and making it sound gorgeous, and to @NickyAACampbell and others for being involved! shows.acast.com/makinglemonade

New ep of #StrongMessageHere is up on @BBCSounds and all podcast platforms. @helenlewis and I take a word or phrase from current politics and look at how it’s being used. This week: ‘Reset not relaunch.’ www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

For years my lovely dad ran a film quiz. These are a selection from every year. A mix of anagrams, hidden or simply cryptic. The films are mostly well known, and range in release dates. Please share and enjoy (and consider a donation to @hospiceuk.bsky.social) Will post answers after Christmas.

Hello! Recently BAFTA gave #HorribleHistories a Special Award, and invited us to reminiscence about making the show Here’s the first of two panels, with me, our exec Richard, series producer Caroline, production designer Miranda, and songwriter Richie youtu.be/apF42GGtxNk?...

Like jokes? Like the Beatles? Then my goodness, Christmas has come early for you via something I wrote for this week’s #BreakingtheNews www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Super proud to have written the script for ‘To Leeds, With Love’ the Christmas projection in Leeds City Square. From the small screen to the MASSIVE screen.

If the TV and film industry isn’t including disabled people (seen and invisible disabilities) either behind or in front of the camera, then we’re not truly ‘holding a mirror up to society.’ Representation matters. We can and must do better. #ScriptSkyUK #ScriptSky

pains me to admit this – because it’s a show that seems to be made for Gen X men who post “good piece, this.” about train travel long-reads – but this show is actually good! (It’s not camp *at all* though so if you’re expecting something like Black Doves, think again)

Thrilled to announce HISTORY’S YOUNGEST HEROES - a new podcast documentary written by me, & presented by the fabulous Nicola Coughlan - is now premiering on BBC Sounds, Apple, Spotify etc, and weekly on Radio 4 at 3.30pm on Mondays. First ep is about the young Nelson Mandela & is out now!

A huge #scriptshoutout to @suzannegriffin1.bsky.social for her absolutely lovely and perfect screenplay THE ITALIAN LOVER. It's a romantic drama (and a real mood) that grabbed me right from the start and never let go. Also, Suzanne nails music in this. Read it if you get the chance. #scriptsky

This is a brilliant scheme for new writers. Entries open until Jan 9th www.thetvfestival.com/tv-foundatio...

Not got your copy of #UnBound yet? Silly, where have you been?!🤗 (We’ve been zooming up the Amazon charts!) Eleven unique short stories raising money for #ReadEasy. What’s not to love? 💙💙💙 A perfect Christmas present or stocking filler. Grab your copy here: www.amazon.co.uk/UnBound-fant...

I've written a book about #screenwriting - about the craft & career. Now available for pre-order via @nickhernbooks.bsky.social on sale from Jan 23rd www.nickhernbooks.co.uk/screenwriting

There are many degrees of separation between me and the gongs, but very cool to have script edited a show that has been nominated for a Golden Globe, a Rose d'Or and an Emmy (I think #TheGentlemen actually won a couple of Emmys...)

Our beloved Ted Hastings sleeping under his stocking, patiently waiting for Santa. Haven't the heart to tell him he's not due yet...🥰❤️ #DogSky #PetSky #Christmas #Love #dogsofbluesky #Dogs

Can't say how pleased I am that NO GHOSTS TONIGHT is resonating with readers. I'm really over the moon to have found out this morning that I've won this year's Shore Scripts Features Contest! Thanks so much to Shore and congratulations to all the finalists! www.shorescripts.com/2024-feature...

Up to episode 2 of #blackdoves. Great cast and all the locations in London you'd expect with Christmas lights too. Like a sort of gangster panto

Have just binged watched Black Doves on Netflix written by the consistently brilliant @joebarton.bsky.social Loved it. Great characters, bonkers plot and cracking dialogue. My only advice? Don't overthink it and just enjoy every second of this fabulous ride! 😀 #ScriptSky+ #Blackdoves #TVSky

Latest Broadcast column is about why it is becoming so annoying trying to find anything on TV, and how broadcasters should work on a standalone app with everything in one place.

So maybe I’m gonna make a short film? #scriptsky #filmsky
