Consumer media writing

I've been heavily involved in consumer media writing since I started my career. I've edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily, for which I also wrote features and reviewed movies, books and television shows. In addition, I've reviewed movies for the newspaper Cambridge Insider, reviewed television shows and DVDs for the TV Scoop blog, Off The Telly, Action TV, and Action Network.

I also write a popular blog, The Medium is Not Enough, which carries daily media news as well as reviews of British and US TV shows, audio plays, DVDs, plays and films.

Broadcast twice a week for three weeks in the run up to Christmas, it was the first decent mainstream drama with disabled actors on British TV.
