I was a guest at London Comic Con Spring last weekend and I took the boys with me. Henry really likes comic cons these days so it's always a good time. He was obsessed with this 'Garlic' and followed it around for ages, haha!

They did not, alas. But she's named for me!

Issue 11 actually! (I guess they didn't pay to use your likeness?)
I recognise this joke has something to do with music.
I like these new lyrics for ‘Nothing Compares to You’.
It is 17 years and one week since @paulcornell.bsky.social blew me up in Issue 5 of Captain Britain and MI13. That is all.
He did a magnificent job as The Ship
Absolutely loved this when I heard it on first broadcast. Great to hear it’s been broadcast again.
Didn‘t know you‘d done this. Will definitely listen.
At 4pm on Saturday the 7th, BBC Radio 4 Extra are re-broadcast my adaptation of Iain M. Banks’ ‘The State of the Art’ starring the late Sir Antony Sher as the ship. So pleased that’s going to be out there again.
