Round-up

I've done a few bits of TV and a few to come:
One show of 'Never Mind the Full Stops' presented by Julian Fellowes. I was on with Ed Stourton, Ian McMillan and Jenni Murray. Great fun had by all. BBC 4 showing in early December, I think.

Some interviews to come: one for a programme about the Great British Comic (comic strip, that is, not comedians) and another for a programme about literature and the English village. Both programmes to be shown on BBC 4. Not sure when they'll be transmitted.

Finished filming a 40 minute programme for Teachers TV. It's about phonics, real books and all that. I will post here as soon as I've got a date for that.

Seven Stories Museum in Newcastle have got an exhibition coming up celebrating the art of the picture book, as exemplified by Walker Books. They've included 'We're Going On A Bear Hunt'. Here's the museum's website. More news on this shortly:

Meanwhile, Tyne Tees TV, Granada and Border TV ran a series called 'Seven Stories at Seven Stories' - seven programmes using new stories written by seven writers including me. Here's how it was billed.
