Thank you so much to every single person (all record-breaking 3.5 million of you!) who voted for me to win this National Film Award. Professor T is an absolute joy to be a part of and I'm very honoured to have received this gong for such a brilliant show.
In my episode of No Place Like Home, I return to the historic town of Nantwich where I grew up. From The Battle of Nantwich that proved a turning point in The English Civil War, to The Great Fire where escaped bears roamed the streets, there'll be plenty of surprises!
To any teachers and home schoolers wanting to know if they can use my books for online learning during lockdown, the answer is an enormous YES! I’m honoured, frankly. Huge thanks to my amazing publishers
@simonkids_UK
for making this happen!
Happy Publication Day! Delighted to say that How I Became A Dog Called Midnight is in the ACTUAL SHOPS right now! Judging from these photos, one or two plucky readers were up at the crack of dawn to secure their copies… 🖤🖤🖤🖤

I have recently visited some brilliant schools across the country, albeit virtually! Thank you to the students for your time, being so engaged and generally being fantastic. I can't wait to do more of these in person, hopefully in the not too distant future!

Professor T is streaming exclusively on BritBox from 3rd June! Imagine a Professor of Criminology at Cambridge University who helps the police to crack difficult cases. I'm so excited for this new six part drama to launch!
