For some mad reason BBC4 weren’t entirely put off by the three pilots we made earlier this year, so I’m returning with yet more puerile meandering and dispiriting misanthropy, which I intend to somehow pass off as ‘analysis’
I’ll be tuning in anyway…

I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe.
