Buggering off for a bit, to avoid swimming against the tide so much. A few scheduled tweets will pop up here, and for Chinbeard Books, but 'X' doesn't mark the spot right now. Be kind and keep shining. Best wishes & rainbow fishes, BARNABY x

A little musical creation of mine, to celebrate the 40th anniversary (to the day) of the iconic 1980's series, #RobinOfSherwood. It won't rival Clannad but I hope it's a bit of an earworm for the fans! youtu.be/Al2eDW-4mLE

Happy #DerekGriffiths Day! I spent two of my favourite recording sessions with him, Toyah Willcox and Robert Fripp, having a right old chuckle (courtesy of AUK Studios). It was like a weird fever dream brought to life.

Yesterday's work for AUK Studios? Making #RulaLenska laugh, as we recorded a two-hander called #BluePeter (not the long-running kids TV show). She was magnificent, as the starring role in an audio play written specifically for her, and about something she's owned for 50 years.

Happy Quarter of a Century to Big Finish Insider! I yearned to write/act/produce/direct something from the moment I heard #SirensofTime (the 1st release) and, courtesy of Jacqueline (Jac) Rayner, I did pop up in a Sixth Doctor/Mel release last year (which I shall forever be grateful to her for).

#PeterSellers died OTD, in 1980. Fifty years ago, #RulaLenska starred in a film with Sellers and acquired a unique piece of memorabila - a blue bust of him, which she still has. AUK Studios are delighted to announce 'Blue Peter', a surreal and humorous audio play. Coming soon!

Paul and I go way back (writing/acting together in school). This is a fab appointment. He brings Wit, Intelligence and Commitment with him (not a firm of solicitors). He's got theatre running through his veins, which is why he makes a song and dance about having a blood test.

As former 007 George Lazenby announces his retirement from work/public life, enjoy his last major role (where I had him rejoin MI6 in an audio adaptation of James Leasor's #PassportToOblivion). Trailer: youtu.be/8I1OmlzcyXw?fe… 2 x Disc Box-Set (£9.99): auk.direct/product/passpo…

At my doctor's surgery waiting room, one of the doctors enters and says... DOCTOR: Alan Partridge? (A Very Old Man nods) It's your appointment now, Mr. Partridge. ME: (Shouting) Back of the net! No reaction. There was no knowing me, knowing you about that. Ahem. Accidental Partridge

A humbling review for a left-field #RobinOfSherwood audio/book project. It's fun to come up with new and inventive things in the 40th anniversary year. Thanks to archivetvmusings for such kind words. Robin of Sherwood - Tales Untold (Audio Review) archivetvmusings.blog/2024/05/11/rob…

Published in December, an official #RobinOfSherwood Quiz Bookbook, to celebrate the 40th anniversary year. We're looking for #FanArt to populate the pages. These can be old or new pieces. We have a private group on Facebook to post your work: facebook.com/groups/sherwoo… Please RT.
