Copenhagen test
I don’t enjoy much of modern day TV - as you might have guessed - but am absolutely loving the Copenhagen Test on channel 4.
A spy being used as a constant surveillance tool is rather Prisoner-esq.
He even has a colleague called Cobb!

Patrick McGoohan in an Anderson production? Yes please!
I wanted McGoohan in an Anderson show so badly, I wrote it myself!
Just in case my fan-made Gerry Anderson prequels weren’t niche enough for you, I’ve now made a cartoon continuation of the 1968 Dr Who story ‘The Wheel In Space’.
Get ready to hide from the Cybermen!

Today, January 13th, we remember Patrick McGoohan (1928–2009). Actor, writer, director, producer, and the visionary force behind The Prisoner, a show that is still asking the questions that matter. #patrickmcgoohan #theprisoner

I always gravitate towards an Alistair Maclean film or two at Xmas (Ice Station Zebra, officially the greatest, is more of a New Years Day vibe)
Merry Sixmass!

I’m sure the kids will understand if they don’t get any Christmas presents because dad has been buying expensive things from Australia again!
Department S blu ray box set from Via Vision. Lots of discs and extras in display.
I’ve already got Department S on blu ray, but this newer version - with a 228 page book and Jason flipping King upscaled to HD - is mighty tempting. Perhaps I could sell a kidney to pay for it?
And we’re out! The first TWO episodes of The Divide are available from wherever you get your podcasts. #audiodrama #spyfiction #podcast
I made a short film with my puppet character! Here he is as General Markosan, facing off against his old enemy, the vampire Baron.
I was aiming here to make a Universal Horror for kids. Not sure I succeeded, but I’ve certainly learned a bit about filmmaking today

'The Eagle's Nest', the first episode of The New Avengers, was originally broadcast in selected ITV regions on this day in 1976.
There’s a short story by me in the latest edition of this quality zine, but don’t let that put you off buying it.
‘The Bitter End’ sees you, the reader, investigating missing cadavers over a warm pint with Landlord Mr Ripper.
Drink up while you can - it’s very nearly closing time.
LISTEN! Here’s the trailer for our new spy-fi audio drama, coming 24th October wherever you find your podcasts. #audiodrama #audiofiction
This is how I spend my weekend
I’ve been watching the blu ray. I can quite believe it was positioned as a children’s series. Sixties kids must have been made of strong stuff!
