November News and Nominations

Just about done on Horrible Histories (which is up for two BAFTAs no less), Ed and Oucho and Bamzooki - which I'm also the commentator on - all of which will hit the screens at some point over the next few months. Now starting up on eight songs for We Are Mongrels for BBC3 and finally getting round to writing my new radio series, the Music Teacher.

I think I'm about to break the eighty songs so far this year barrier. There's only so many combinations of C F and G7, you know, so that's pretty good going. Good job I learnt A minor this summer.

In other 'blow your own trumpet' news my radio 4 show 15 Minute Musical has been nominated for a 2009 Writers' Guild Award in the Radio Comedy/Light Entertainment category, which is particularly nice what with it being judged by fellow writers. All of whom I have slept with coincidentally.

September news

It's quite busy here at Webbkatz Towers. Here's what we're currently up to:

Putting the finishing touches to the backing tracks for series 5 of my radio 4 show 15 Minute Musical, which I'm recording at The Drill Hall on the 24th Sept and the 8th and 22nd Oct. Remarkably, all the tickets have gone for the first recording but you can still get them for the other two here.

We're also working on music for a number of new children's shows which will see the light of day over the coming months, including a theme tune package and 12 songs for Horrible Histories for Lion TV, more of the same for Ed and Oucho's Excellent Inventions for CBBC, and having just finished work on the second series of Bear Behaving Badly for Darrall MacQueen, we're working with them once more on GMTV's new pre-school strand The Fluffy Club, which if nothing else is a great title.

And once again we're doing some odd bits and bobs for series 3 of That Mitchell and Webb Look. No relation, by the way. Although if I had a pound for everytime someone rings me up to offer me a job thinking I'm Robert Webb I'd be three pounds better off.
