In His Own Words
About him
I live on the edge of Hampstead Heath.
Am reliably upbeat.
Currently taking time away from work (documentaries) to finish writing a first novel. Am still not sure what it’s about - the project is quite possibly a full-blown midlife crisis red flag … other fbmc symptoms include: confiding in a Goldendoodle, buying a wildly expensive espresso machine and spending two days making a tarte tatin.
Have two wonderful kids. The youngest, 21, is still with me (Dad, you should try online dating…) and my life’s a bit of a 1970s sitcom but with less hair.
