Morning, Patrons.
The UFO vid is almost there, but… we’ve still got one final thing to film. We’re going to Lakenheath tomorrow to do that, and if you’ve been following the news… you’ll know why.
We were going today, but the weather is going to be foul apparently, so we’...
2024-12-05 09:47:15 +0000 UTC View PostHappy Monday, everyone.
Thank you to those of you still here after a November that was light on content from us. Again – sorry. Our lack of activity seems to have driven a few people away. Sadly, it couldn’t be helped last month.
The saga of my mum’s house is coming to a close ...

Hello, gang.
Firstly, apologies to Biffo's Brain folk, but we're going to bump this week's Zoom to next week. I'm stuck in the edit of the UFO vid, and feel a tad discombobulated by it all, so I just want to keep ploughing on to get it done - I need to move onto Digi Level 2 asap. We'll aim...
2024-11-28 13:30:46 +0000 UTC View PostHappy Monday, gang.
So, filming was… challenging. The weather was just not playing ball – full-on blizzard on Friday, then trying to navigate the Peak District through more snow on Saturday, followed by Storm Bert on Sunday. Audio struggles in places, and some of it we’ll have to repl...

We didn't task as many pics today, mainly due to Storm Bert reasons, but here are a few. Top one shows the bizarre temperature difference between Sanja and I. This aligns with what we already knew - she's always too cold, I'm always too hot - but it's nice to have it confirmed by science.

These photos do not do the weirdness justice.

Tomorrow... we kick off three days of filming. Today... we're packing our kit. And yes: we've finally taken the plunge and invested in a drone (as well as some other new bits and pieces). I love this moment before we film... We plan as much as we can, but we deliberately leave room for happy acci...

Happy Tuesday, you lot. The UFO theme I shared last week... I ended up extending, quite a lot, whenever I had a bit of time over the past few weeks. And I rather like it. Listen above (though I appreciate most of you aren't here for that.
Anyway. Please… allow me to whinge briefly.
Morning, Patrons. It’s Saturday! Hurrah. This week has been a slog. Had a load of work stuff to get out of the way – so we can film next week – but getting through it all with a cold was a right grind. It’s not even that bad a cold, just bad enough to make me want to switch off my brain, ...

The UFO ep is coming together. I think it's going to be another epic. We may not get videos out every week, but at least you get your money's worth when we do! It's such a huge topic that I just hope we can do it justice; my goal is to keep it as pacy as the big cat video.
Also: we've foun...
2024-11-14 15:05:42 +0000 UTC View PostHello Patrons!
I’ve got a cough/cold/sore throat thing. It's not bad, but the next vid may be delayed slightly. We’d planned to go away to film at the end of this week, but we’re going to bump it to the start of next week instead. Sanja also seems to be coming down with it now, so at ...

This week marked 25 years of My Parents Are Aliens. I came onto the show in its fourth series, with an episode called Fish Fingers. I’d been recommended after writing on two series of Sooty, and I ended up writing until the end of the series. Heck: I wrote what turned out to be the final episod...

Here's the almost full video of us chatting with Jon Downes from the Centre for Fortean Zoology - contains Digi history, more on my trip to Guyana, more big cat stuff, and more on my encounter on the Isle of Wight (including a drawing what I did). Best of all - Jon tells the story of how he becam...

Update on the neighbour above there. Great. Just great. So glad I signed up to their Whatsapp group.
The Rachel mentioned was indeed an actress, who popped up in EastEnders and a few other things. Weirdly, I later ended up working with her best friend, who was a producer. Small world.
I’m not going to write about Donald Trump. What’s the point? I was pretty certain he was going to win, despite what the supposed experts said. Here and in America I think too many on the Left have become overly condescending, overly preachy, and they’ve completely lost touch with the concer...

How was everyone’s weekend? We were in hibernation mode mostly. We did go for a walk around some sort of lake thing yesterday, but the weather was so dull and overcast it just sent us scurrying back beneath our duvet.
We did finish watching Rings of Power. I'm no...

Happy November!
Obviously, it's not a numbers game, but also... it is. Of course it is. After so many years of treading water it's a good feeling to have seen so much growth this year, and by doing it on our terms, making the kind of content we want to make.
HUGE thank you to lovely ...

Hello, gang. Here's an exclusive for you: a half-hour car chat, following our weird experiences hunting big cats (or were they hunting us!?). It's a bit of ramble. You know us. Does contain a comment about Emily Bronte that Sanja spent 48 hours laughing about.
Thank you to all of you who'v...

At last! That took forever to upload. Enjoy. Gorge yourselves. See you in the comments.
2024-10-30 13:29:23 +0000 UTC View PostHello, gang. Apologies, but I won't be able to get the new video to you tonight. After four hours of it uploading, we just finished watching it back, aaaaand.... two bits of footage hadn't rendered properly.
So, I've fixed it, and it's ready to go, but I'll have to get it to you first thing...
2024-10-29 20:17:52 +0000 UTC View PostIt's taking a while to upload, due to being a whopper of a video, but it should be with Patrons tonight, and with everyone else on Thursday. Set aside some time - it's one heck of a journey, the very definition of an epic, but well worth your time I hope. I love it, and I hope you do too. It ha...

So. We’ve sort of teased something that happened to us over the weekend while we were filming, but… it was…
Well… let me save that for the minute.
Bottom line: we finished filming the big cat video. It’s going to be a whopper – itâ€...

How the hell do we convey what happened to us in a way that doesn’t sound like we’re making it up?
For research we watched multiple big cat documentaries, where the presenters go out looking for big cats. They’ve found ...

We have a lot to discuss when we're back. Nobody is ever going to believe us, but something EXTRAORDINARY happened right before the camera was rolling that has put the fear up both of us.. We've still got some filming to do on Sunday morning, when we collect our trap camera, but... man. We didn...

A nice, simple video, has now spiralled out of control, and become wildly ambitious.
