Location filming started this week for John Sullivan's sitcom "The Green Green Grass", I've written two episodes of this series and it feels weird to just send in a script from my office and that's it. Of course that isn't it, I will go along to the studio recordings and probably some rehearsals but I'm use to being involved all the way along the process as I was with The Catherine Tate Show; but then I was a performer in that show too. To be fair I was invited to the read through a couple of weeks ago but couldn't attend because I had a script meeting for Doc Martin; I've been asked to write the final episode of that for it's third series. So yes, what with those two shows, the Don Black musical and my own series I'm writing for Tiger Aspect ("Benidorm") I am busy boy! Oh, have also managed to squeeze in something for Sports Relief (Comic Relief on steroids I assume) so I guess I have to admit that I am a writer. Or am I an actor who writes? Or am I now a writer who acts? Well I've got an acting casting on friday so we shall see if I've still got "it"… Huge assumption there of course that I ever had "it" in the first place.
