I know, I know, it's been so long. Too long, some might say, but hey - we know this is special. That our relationship transcends the petty boundaries of time.
So, anyway - where were we?
The very least I can do is a puff for the show that kept me so busy last year, Ashes to Ashes, so do tune in to BBC1 at 9 pm tonight. Essential viewing, not least because if you don't watch this first ep, the chances of working out what's going on when it comes to my eps (4 & 5) are slim. And you are going to watch my eps, aren't you? Course you are.
Stick with it, even if you genuflect beneath the acting icon that is Simm - it will grow on you, trust me.
What have I been I doing all this time? Writing for Ashes (or A2A, as it has become known in fannier* circles), co-writing a cop show pilot, and becoming a dad for the second time. Blogging got pushed down the list, but I will be updating occasionally in the future.
*if it isn't a word, it should be. I blame Gene Hunt. I clearly haven't evacuated him entirely from my system.

Well hello! Was hoping you might pop up again when Ashes to Ashes came on (which was very cool, btw). Welcome back. Any chances of some posts around the development of the show and your episodes?
Welcome back, mush. Don't leave it so long next time.
I'll try and find something interesting to write about Ashes's development in the next couple of weeks. If you asked me some questions my innate sense of politesse is more likely to force me into some kind of reply than relying on my own motivation to write anything, which is, frankly, poor at the best of times.
Fair enough. These are largely based off of last night's episode, and so might not apply to your work at all, but here you go:
Given that the LOM series finale (more or less) concluded Gene et al were fictional, did you worry about the audience connecting with a hallucination, and if so how did you tackle it?
On a similar note, how will you make the fantasy elements effective now the audience (presumably) knows the whole thing is a fantasy?
Why was the decision made to switch from "first person" to "third" - e.g. giving Gene scenes that Alex is not present in?
That's three to start you off. Cheers!
