Current mood: the euphoria of finally finishing a passion project spec script that I've been working on for three months - and thinking about for ten years - colliding headfirst with the feeling that my brain has been thumbed slowly through a keyhole.

The Broadcast Awards are tonight. Though I won't be there, Almost Never is up for best Children's Show. Good luck to jeremy salsby and all the nominees.

Sad to hear of the passing of Beryl Vertue. I did a couple of footnote comedy pilots with Hartswood back in the day. She was one of the warmest, smartest, people I've worked with. An absolute titan of TV. Absurd that Biffovision should ever be listed among her production credits.

I've laughed a LOT at the previous seasons of Odd Squad - it's smart, silly and full of great jokes and characters. So I'm very sorry to announce that they've ruined everything by making me the lead writer of the new UK-based series. Sorry, kids. kidscreen.com/2023/10/04/sin…

Loved writing all 15 episodes of Obki Series 3 earlier this year. Gorgeous animation, a great message, and we even somehow managed to cram in giant robots, time travel, alternate universes, and a snail revolution.

Not sure how I missed this, but the latest series of CBBC's long running The Dumping Ground is out now on iPlayer. I had the immense privilege of writing the first episode. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

New series of #TheDumpingGround opens with an episode by the brilliant Paul Rose !

This feels all too real for so many writers too. Even after two decades at lead writer level, four co-created shows, awards and BAFTA noms, I've only managed to survive - *just* - by diversifying. I can no longer rely on the job I love. There's so much experience going to waste.

Far from being an awful article, Ethan is once again bang on the money about a crisis facing British TV that almost nobody outside of the industry is talking about, and pretty much nobody inside British TV is actually doing anything about.

Just a small reminder that tonight is Digi Level 2 premiere night! See you in the chat at 7pm: youtube.com/watch?v=LpgMhk…
