Guest Post, TV shows
In the Summer of 1998, instead of playing football with my twelve year old friends, I was having a Knightmare. Successfully passing the audition process, we arrive at the reception of Anglia Studios in Norwich. Here we meet the current team from Oxfordshire (who will go on to be the first team to conquer the dungeon). The production always holds one team in reserve as they never know when the next team will finish.
Taking us down to the studio to begin our adventure, we cross the floor over cables and past cameras to the three stools that sit in front of the chest. Treguard sits behind us and we do a run through of the first room to get rid of any nerves. I look up from the television in the chest, which is the same as for the viewer at home, and see one of the production staff walking around in red slippers.

It started with a title.
My girlfriend at the time commented my ears were ‘so pale they looked like porcelain’. I was hideously hungover and being pale has always been my standard look.
‘The Boy with the Porcelain Ears, that would make a great book title’, I said. That was nearly ten years ago. I knew there was an orphan, I knew it took place in a huge castle (thank you Mervyn Peake) and I knew the King was a recluse. Outside … More

On a Break
January 22nd, 2013
So, Red Country has been well and truly out for three months, the touring well and truly over, the reviews chewed through, the sales examined, the dust settled.
I find myself now in a slightly unusual position as I watch the snow drift down past my study window and render the pavements of Bath totally impassible for … More
