So Northern Exposure starts filming next week. You have one more week to suggest where Gary & Danielle can visit on their trip to Northern Ireland!
To be honest, I can’t wait for filming, I feel like I haven’t been out on the road in ages, and although it’s really long hours, it is fun. We’re [...]

Yay for me! I found out a couple of weeks ago I’ve got another TV series commissioned. This one is COMPLETELY different to Northern Exposure, and it’s a kind of programme that the BBC haven’t tried before. So I’m excited about it, even though I know already it is going to be very, very hard [...]

Whilst in London, I struck a deal with my little sis. I would go and see the movie of her choice on the Friday night if we saw a movie of my choice on the Sunday night. So that explains why on Friday I found myself watching the latest Zac Efron film, 17 Again.
It’s a [...]

It’s been pretty hectic recently with me, which is why I haven’t been posting that muc h. Also I haven’t found that much intersting stuff going on recently out on the ole’ World Wide Web.
Anyways, it’s been hectic as I prepared for the launch of my new series, which I’ll be working on from now [...]

I am totally excited about seeing this movie. It’s a Swedish vampire film and has been getting great reviews, making it all the more annoying that it was actually on at the Belfast Film Festival on Saturday night, and I only found out about it yesterday.
I really hope it will be showing at a cinema [...]

Last week (bear with me, catching up!) I helped out at Do You Remember The First Time? A gig organised by Belfast City Council and broadcast live by ATL and recorded for TV (being broadcast this Tuesday, details at the end of the post).
The gig was held to celebrate the re-opening of the Ulster Hall [...]

When I was about 11, the film The Neverending Story came out and I absolutely, absolutely loved it. It’s German, so it’s a bit weird in places as kids films made there tend to be usually, but it totally caught by imagination. And I also had a severe crush on The Childlike Empress. I think [...]

So on Saturday night, I was at the Irish Film & Television Awards in Dublin – that’s me, the crew and presenters in the picture above. Unfortunately I didn’t win an award (that’s a fake one in my hands), we were there putting together a show for BBC Northern Ireland.
It was quite a fun night really, [...]

Working. That’s the short answer! Tomorrow I’m heading down to Dublin for the Sixth annual Irish and Film Television Awards. It’s being broadcast live on RTE, but I have to turn round a one hour version with red carpet interviews and backstage award winner interviews for broadcast on BBC Two at 7pm on Monday.
It’ll be [...]

BOGOF is Back at Saf..
Watch the ad…
If I see this ad one more time on television I think will go completely insane.
1. Who on earth is he
2. Would you buy double glazing from him
Words cannot express how much I hate this.
