Hello.  Like a lot of people with a website with a blog, I just don’t do it enough for it to feel like a blog given the occassional entries.  But I shall attempt to be more regular.  I don’t know if there’s any kind of roughage for blogging, but I could do with it.  Maybe just take inspiration from Richard Herring and get on with it.  But then he is quite good and I’m busy trying to make television things too.

Got some very interesting projects in the pipeline, none of which I can disclose here, but Lunch Monkeys Series Two will emerge in the New Year, hot on the heels of Nigel Havers escape from the jungle, which may give us a publicity boost.  If not, we’ve booked Gillian McKeith to cameo in Series Three.  She instructs Fox Cranford to sue Ant and Dec for emotional trauma. Ant and Dec haven’t responded to our request to appear as themselves, but we feel confident.  They win the case, so it’s all positive and it bankrupts Fox Cranford.  Michael Cranford (Nigel’s character) has a breakdown.

This morning I appeared on the radio – BBC Manchester.  I was talking about news stories on the Heather Stott Show with two other guests who were delightful, but had some quite serious stories.  One concerned a new pill to eradicate painful memories – yep, one of those kind of stories – and we were asked if we’d take the pill.  Well one guest had suffered abuse as a child while the other had been the victim of a violent and targetted attack.  So the comedian in the middle (that’s me, by the way) felt like a bit of a tit attempting to throw in jokes.

My appearance was slightly less levity-fuelled than usual. If that’s an expression.  But it kinda had to be – it was either that or turn into Simon Amstell.

Keep it jungling.
