Few books created a buzz on my timeline as The Rage of Party by George Owers. So I'm thrilled to be talking to him on Sunday when @mongerspodcast.bsky.social returns from summer break. Expect rancour, licentiousness, bloody duels, naughty poetry & oceans of ale. And that's just the hosts.
Started to draft my new book today and the first line of chapter one is currently 'Hands off cocks and on socks'. Always important to strike the right tone from the start.

In the 17th Century version of the Wagatha Christie case the aristocrats who lost in court - after a trial overseen by King James himself - faced a stiff fine. Whilst the servants who had been forced to lie on their behalf….
Its well worth your shekels. You might even learn something ;-)
Phil Craig@philmcraig.bsky.social · 3mo agoI know you were all thinking ‘Gosh Phil’s new book looks really interesting but I’m far too mean to shell out 25 quid for a hardback. Well now you can get it in paper. Well on June 5th you can. Pre-order now all you tightwads. amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/139971…

Phil Craig@philmcraig.bsky.social · 3mo agoAs a former insider it's oddly reassuring to see ABC management continue it's fine tradition of alienating the people who actually want to watch it in return for chasing people who never will.
Yeah OK ‘Quiztina Aguillera’, and good on you ‘Let’s Get Quizical’ ha ha very amusing but we’ve heard it all before and how we didn’t win best team name last night is beyond me bloody stitch up and no I’m not bitter about that hidden word round oh no not at all!

As good as everyone says. Properly cinematic, warm, slyly funny, exciting, great soundtrack…and you'll blub. Shades of great Spielberg sci-fi in its tone - ET, Close Encounters, Jurassic Park - and sprinklings of classic ‘hero journey’ movies like Star Wars. Go see on the biggest screen you can.
