"Oscar and the Magi" is a children's book that I've written largely as a present for someone, but which I'm also making available online for everyone else.

Timothy Hope, desperate to impress the beautiful but disdainful Lady Misericordia, stows away on Lord Daunt's expedition to the North Pole, and finds himself caught up in an adventure of high seas, deep crevasses, slavering wolves, reindeer sleigh rides and much, much more, with only his wits and inventiveness to keep him and his friends alive.
The Mazehouse
Wed, 10/21/2009 - 13:55 | by admin
The Mazehouse project has its origins in an interactive TV show we made for the Sci-Fi channel in 2001. It was initially intended to be an interactive drama, but the Sci-Fi channel wanted it to be mounted as more of a hoax. Ever since I've wanted to go back and tell the story we originally intended to - the results can be seen at: mazehouse.ruritania.co.uk.
two-minutes.com

two-minutes.com was an interactive murder mystery we staged during the total eclipse of 1999. It was a live online event and, as such, disappeared soon after it had run its course.
Tilt

The Remainders gang (myself, Finbar Hawkins & Jon Millington) have had a few sketches featured on Tilt, a BBC Radio 7 sketch show - so, finally got that credit on a BBC radio comedy show. My work here is done. I think the most recent show is available on listen again, still, but this is the show's page, which might prove slightly longer lived than any Listen Again link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7/comedy/progpages/tilt.shtml
Wannabes

This was a pilot for an interactive soap for the BBC. The audience would have a mocked up 'desktop' and would receive video messages from the characters, each containing a segment of an episode's plot. Occassional 'instant messages' would allow the audience to interact with the characters, altering plot outcomes by making decisions.
Planet Protectors
Thu, 07/30/2009 - 07:10 | by tobias
Planet Protectors are a new range of environmentally aware action figures from the Early Learning Centre.
I helped develop the site and and its content. I built it in Flash to Will Richards' colourful and dramatic designs.
The aim was to give the children an online destination that complemented and expanded on the world of the characters.
The Big Giraffe and Genius Goldfish Show
Thu, 07/30/2009 - 07:07 | by tobias
It's the show that's big, not the giraffe.
This was a short series of tiny animated interstitials for Nickelodeon in the UK. Originally it was going to be a chat show hosted by a Giraffe in a Spacestation (although no one can remember why) but then he had as guests a pair of Goldfish with astronomical IQs and minimal attention spans and they took over.
FightBox

Well, yes, FightBox.FightBox was an interactive TV show for the BBC. Players could download a PC game from the BBC website and use it to create and train their own FightBox warriors. The most successful players won a place in the televised competition.
Remainders
Thu, 07/30/2009 - 06:54 | by admin
For every programme that makes it to air, there are many that die on the way, whether strangled at birth, brutally murdered along the way or eventually euthanised to put the audience out of their misery. It is these programmes that are the Remainders of radio broadcasting.
