On Saturday I'm giving a talk-with-clips about my TV career at the Lass O'Gowrie on Charles Street in Manchester, and as the day gets closer I'm growing convinced that no one is going to turn up. If you've an events diary or similar feature and might be interested in giving it a mention, feel free to pass the information on.
I was born in Salford so this is a homecoming for me. I'll be covering ground from my start with Doctor Who through working with Brian Clemens on BUGS in the 90s with side-trips into TV horror and Rosemary & Thyme, right up to the experience of remaking Eleventh Hour in Hollywood for Jerry Bruckheimer (the first version, with Patrick Stewart, was shot in Manchester).
The talk's in an upstairs room of the Lass at 6.30, right after my old friend Bryan Talbot speaking about his Grandville graphic novels. It follows a day of events with Johnny Vegas, who I suspect will have no trouble pulling an audience.
Go to the circus, laugh at the clowns, and then go home and have nightmares about them. That's entertainment.

I was fortunate enough to interview Stephen a few weeks ago at a Doctor Who event and it was really good. And the punters seemed to enjoy themselves and gave us good feedback. Anyone who can make this event should definitely go.

Hope it went well Stephen. I'd drive a long way to listen to you discuss writing.
