My horrible year
I don't want to write a confessional blog, where I share all the private tragedies of my personal life, so I will simply say that creatively the past year has been a struggle, because real life got in the way. But now I'm back at my desk and busy working. I'm also gawping nightly at The Wire and marvelling at its intricacy and intelligence.
UK tv commissioners take note - if you stop obsessing about audience figures and go back to searching for quality, you might once again be able to boast about being the best broadcaster in the world, producing the best drama. Instead, HBO has stolen a march on you all. Our home-grown tv drama actually touches no-one and says nothing new or interesting about the human condition (with a few honourable exceptions, of course - but they are very rare)....
It's such a pity. I know so many writers just bursting with brave ideas, but no-one wants to know!
