The President was jailed. Fruitcakes helped him escape and he was re-elected. I wrote about Éamon de Valera for @washpost. washingtonpost.com/history/2024/0…

Get ready for the scariest shipping forecast you’ve ever heard: I wrote about Still Wakes the Deep (Still Wakes the Deep), the video game set in 1975 for BFI. Contains monkey bars, Sea Devils, gas blowouts and other stuff you can read about in Scarred for Life. bfi.org.uk/features/how-s…

The only way you can have a scarier seaside experience is at St. Mary’s bay when the tide turns brown.

Two years ago Esther Bintliff asked me to write this for FT Weekend Magazine. Still really enjoy my job today. It pays minimum wage. I expect that’ll go up after the election. ft.com/content/af633a…

Hotter than your loft was at lunchtime 🤘🏻

Wrote this for Guardian Money about wearing a bodycam for work. It’s weird sometimes having a lens strapped to you. Biggest fear is I get grabbed by an actual camera operator like Ed Hanson. theguardian.com/business/artic…

40 years ago a TV movie imagined the outbreak of World War III. Today the bombs are still ready but luckily the world’s a much more stable place … I wrote about Threads for BFI. bfi.org.uk/features/threa…

Threads is 40. I wrote this to celebrate. Hope Atomic Hobo is baking the cake and Heartwood Institute is doing musical chairs. 🎂☢️🫢💦

To anyone in a state after watching #Threads last night: even the director got flashbacks. They wear off after the first 40 years. bfi.org.uk/features/threa…

Where can you steal trains, eat pizza until you throw up and then bike-jump onto a skyscraper? In a video game that turns 20 tomorrow. I wrote about Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas from Rockstar Games for BFI. bfi.org.uk/features/grand…

Happy 20th birthday GTA:SA. Here’s to another two decades of hot-wiring combine harvesters.

40 years ago, a bodybuilder from the future killed three punk astronomers and made history. How James Cameron and Arnold made The Terminator (best enjoyed with this by Prof. Dr Beth Singler.: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…)

Happy Halloween to everyone preparing for #NationalSeance2024. To anyone who isn’t: here’s how Stephen Volk and Lesley Manning made Behind the Curtains, the TV show so scary it caused the armed forces to shit their trousers. amp.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2…

As Stephen Volk told New Scientist: ‘Technicians were standing in Broadcasting House, looking up at the big screens in reception, saying “Bloody hell, what is going on in Studio One?”’ newscientist.com/article/234471…

Please repost for all the paramedics and ambulance staff who are working this evening We really could not be more grateful you are out there

Reckon nothing can spook you after Halloween and the election? Get ready for cartoon rabbits. I wrote about the re-release of Watership Down and other traumatising animated films (including Scarred for Life favourite When the Wind Blows) for BFI. bfi.org.uk/lists/10-great…

Contains cannibal teddy bears, Keanu Reeves, radioactive pensioners, Studio Ghibli and cartoon dogs so disturbing that even Scrappy-Doo wouldn’t fight them.
