Arguing ears...

...yeah, I know, hardly a relevant title, but I couldn't think of one. I was thinking maybe 'ramblings', but for a title, that was so dull that I fell asleep halfway through thinking about it.

Actually, it's not the first time I've written the phrase 'Arguing Ears'.  Just as Arthur's final run was coming to an end, I was approached to create a new series in the same comedy style as Arthur, even the same visual style as Arthur...but not Arthur. The show featured a character who suffered from a case of 'Arguing ears' - a terrible affliction where they felt they were caught in the middle of an argument between two ears.  How it was going to play out, I had no idea and thankfully, as a stroke of luck, I didn't have to worry about it; the show got canned with everything else that was in development at the time when the network had a management reshuffle.

I won't go into any great detail about the show - or about Arguing Ears - because they could make an appearance (or at least one of them) pretty soon. In fact, very soon...

Oh wait, hang on, one arguing ear isn't going to work; I mean, who's it going to argue with? It needs two, otherwise it'll just be an ear that shouts, and that's just silly.

I'm relieved to say that arguing ears don't appear in any of my episodes of Purple Turtle - a really fun, crazy show that's becoming super popular in Asia and the Far East.

Nor do they appear in my new live action movie that's gradually getting back up to speed after a prolonged hiatus.  We're starting to check out locations.  Coming from a TV background, I'm used to things moving much faster than this, but I guess it's a learning curve.

OK, I'd better run - my ears have started arguing...

It really is about time...

Yeah, it is (you'll be SO impressed by how clever that sounds when the title is finally revealed).

OK, so my super cool, super awesome movie has been stuck in development hell for a long time. A REALLY long time!  BUT it looks like things may be moving again...which is also super cool and super awesome!

More news to follow very shortly, but good news is we're back scouting for locations...

Quiet here, isn't it?

Well, yeah. Is it. No two ways about it. OK, so I admit it, the blog has slipped down my list of priorities. Waaaaay down! But there are reasons. And lots of them.

I will reveal all soon. Veeery soon... 

Edison's Secret Lab...

I thought today would NEVER come, but it's FINALLY here!!  So why the excitement?  The show that I've been working on - my first for the US - Edison's Secret Lab - premieres on Netflix (US) today!!  HUZZAH!!

We're also hitting PBS.  For my chums in LA, we'll be on KLCS, but I don't know when exactly.

It's been a SUPER-fun show to work on, and I'm hoping it won't be too long before we see it here in the UK (I can't wait to see Max  Planck, the father of modern day quantum mechanics, getting beaten up by a shop dummy).

For now, I'm going to have to rely on my friends on the other side of the pond to tell me how AWESOME the show is.

For those of us in the UK, we'll have to wait just a little bit longer.

D'Oh!!...
