I know you have all been out there waiting, clicking the blog again and again in the vain hope of a new post only to come away disappointed. My apologies. But I'm back now and I'll never leave you again.
It's been a busy year though (yikes, where does the time go?). Much of my time was spent on Raiders of the Lost Art, a drama-documentary series broadcast on the Yesterday Channel over the summer. For those who missed it (no I'll never forgive you), the series dealt with tales of lost, missing and stolen works of art - and I wrote the dramatic reconstructions.
As with any project, it came with its own particular challenges. I love historic settings for my stories. But I also enjoy the leeway "creative licence" allows the author of historical fiction. In this case however, that was far more limited and I was very much serving two masters - scenes had to work dramatically while not straying far from the documented truth of events. After all, this was a documentary, not a fully-fledged drama. Getting the balance right sometimes took a few drafts, but I think we just about got it in the end and I'm pleased with how the final project has turned out.
For a short time it is still available on catch up. Check it out!
But anyway.....
Seen any good films recently?
