Hi everyone, Remembered this today, and realised that I had never posted it here before. A few years ago I entered a competition to write an extra page from Laura Palmer’s secret diary. This was my entry, which ended up winning the competition; the first time I’ve ever won anything for my writing. I found […]
Read more "Laura Palmer’s Secret Diary – missing page"Hi everyone, I did this show as part of a series that my good friend Frank is running his YouTube channel, diving into our love for all things Twin Peaks. It was great to have a chat about it. Subscribe to his channel and you’ll see some more great content that he’s putting out. Cheers […]
Read more "Why I Love Twin Peaks"If the first four parts of Cameron Cloutier’s extension of Twin Peaks mythology were great, this fifth visit to the world both wondrous and strange is simply sublime. It starts with familiar strobe effects, disconcerting slash cuts from one image to the next and a series of uncomfortable, awkward close ups that thrust us into […]

Read more "What the Haiku – Happy Twin Peaks Day Special"Hi everyone, If there is a Twin Peaks character who sums up 2020 so far, it has to be the reclusive Harold Smith, played so wonderfully by Lenny von Dohlen. I haven’t written any Twin Peaks poetry in a while, but I kept seeing his image pop up on social media and I was compelled […]
Read more "Solitaire – a haiku sequence"Merry Christmas everyone, I wanted to mark the holiday by going back into the woods for one more Twin Peaks haiku. I haven’t written anything TP related since the sad passing of Peggy Lipton earlier in the year but I had an urge to go into the dark woods once more and do some backwards […]
Read more "What the Haiku – Twin Peaks – New Year Special"So, my fifth Twin Peaks UK Festival has come to an end. I had two regrets when I left, Firstly, I regretted that it was over at all. Secondly, I regretted not taking my decent camera with me this year. I trusted my phone, thinking as it was an upgrade on my last one, the […]
