Doctor Woo

I was asked to help out facilitating a creative session today. A new series of the crusty cult classic Doctor Who is soon to go into production here in Wales after a very long break from our screens. The session today was to look at interactive / multi-platform ideas which could sit along side existing web content and the programme.

Some exciting new ideas were hatched and I'm sure there is a lot of development and brainstorming still to be done before any of them make it to the screen.

It was interesting to be at a brainstormer as a creative facilitator. Its very hard to try and not direct the action how you want it. Sometimes you have to spark off the talk and others you have to listen carefully and take lots of notes. I can see me being roped in to doing a bit more of it in the future which is great, it's good fun and a nice break from the norm.

It was out at Fonmon Castle Where we did the creative training last year. Its a lovely building that they open up for special functions. They have loads of original old art on the walls, including a grimy old Panini in the kitchen which must be worth a bomb and is very nice if unloved. I had the camera today so I took a few interior shots, and then bugger me if it didn't start snowing in the afternoon - we had a few CMs and expect the country to grind to a halt very shortly...

It feels very alien for an innercity lad like me to be in such grand old house - especially one with strong royal connections. But flaming hell its a lovely place. Loads of antiques and great art. It would be even nicer if it wasn't directly under the flight path of Rhoose Airport, but hey - they didn't know that in the 12th century so we can hardly blame them. Anyway, some shots from today.












Had to take Elis to the doctors - he's not happy at the moment - he has conjunctivitis and is just getting over a cough. Poor mite is as good as gold though, and always has a smile for his old man. Some nice snow cloud sunset tonight, quick snaps pushing him home, but of course...
