Happy New Year everyone

RADIO
The second half of the third series of "That Was Then This Is Now" is currently being broadcast on Radio 2 at 11.30pm on Thursdays and 1.30pm on Saturdays. You can listen again to the 4th episode by clicking this -

We are also recording a third series of Banter for Radio 4 in February and March. I will let you know how to get hold of tickets as soon as I know.
TV
I have been commissioned to write a pilot episode of a sit-com about Scrabble players for the BBC. But there's no guarantees it will be made.
It seems unlikely that "You Can Choose Your Friends" will be given a series, though apparently the final decision has still not been made. Stranger things have happened. But not much stranger.
BLOG
Warming Up continues into its sixth year. It's been pretty good recently. Do you still read it? Well you should - it's over here -

If you only want to read the best ones then I rehash them a bit (and occasionally write a new one) for the New Statesman website
