I feel queasy. I’ve just listened to the latest podcast from the Tapped series by Tempest Productions. I thought British farce and bawdy humour generally had been consigned to the 70s but clearly no one sent Tempest the memo. It’s not that I disapprove of sex comedies featuring older people, it’s just that I’d rather they hadn’t so obviously enjoyed making it. Don’t say I haven’t warned you.

I’m a great believer in writing according to your mood or prevailing tastes. You might be into horror at some point in your career and itching to produce something gothic. On the other hand you might, having emerged from a period of cynicism and misanthropy, revel in creating a feel-good romantic comedy. Who’s to tell you to stick to one genre?

Clearly Bibi Berki seems to think she has it in her to dabble with “science fiction” (the inverted commas are necessary.)  Personally, I’d leave it to the experts but I see what she’s getting at…
