While I'm at it...

I might as well put a link up to this

It's called When in Rome,

I wrote it with David Pilling and I did all the voices, quite a lot of them are Scottish and at least one of them is female. I was young then and thought that writing a sit-com would be easy. This was my second ever pilot. I've written a few more now but I've never recorded any of them.

Neither Dave nor I had ever seen Chelmsford 123 we figured the idea had 'never been done'. Classic mistake.

3 Audio Stories.

I put these up today with the same trepidation that one might put up naked baby photo's. I hope you enjoy them.

Steven's Baby
Probably the best of the three if I'm honest. But I haven't heard it in a long time. Just the opening music makes me feel weird and then I have to turn it off before the talking starts because it freaks me out.
The actress was Lisa Coleman, on Casualty, she played 'Nurse Jude' I think she is just perfect for this. I never wrote to thank her for the great job she did. I may try and track her down and send her a link... on second thoughts she might get mad and ask me for money.

Hidden Depths
This is the most recent to be taken on, I had to cut it down from a story that was originally a BlogPost on this very site...  if you are really bored one day you could compare the two. The actor Joe Sims,   reads this one. He's in this, he is Ralph.  He's Bristolian Ya'll. Show some love!

Boxing Smart
This story ended up on radio Somerset Sound after placing in a competition (either the Wells or the Frome Festival of Literature, I forget which) as you can tell it's a first person narrative about a boxer who beats his wife.  It's read by middle aged actress Lois Harbinson. When they played Celein Dion at the end... I almost cried.

Watch out for the 'Hemmingwayesque Short Sentences...' (The quote is from a later rejection letter. If you're reading this. I forgive you.)
