Every rivalry has its final note. 🎼 Don’t miss the Amadeus series finale on Sky tonight.

The brilliant ⁦@TwoCitiesTV⁩ bringing another great show to a living room near you very soon. From the team behind the peerless Blue Lights comes Amadeus. I’ve clearly very biased, but it’s very good! Coming soon to ⁦@skytv⁩.

I was lucky enough to work with Alan, he was one of the very best and someone you always wanted to do great work for…his support and approval meant something special to all those lucky enough to get to know him.

I couldn’t be happier for Two Cities and Gallagher Films for their massive BAFTA win last night. Blue Lights is a team effort, so well done Stephen Wright, Amanda Black, Declan Law, Adam Patterson, Louise Gallagherand our amazing cast and crew!

I’m so proud of the STV Studios growth story. In just 6 years we’ve gone from being a tiny business to a big player in the UK market, delivering over £84m of revenue and profits of £6.1m. My thanks go to my team, our buyers and the amazing freelancers who help us make our shows.

This man launched Radio 1 57 years ago and is still going strong, who do I have to petition to get him a knighthood? A total national treasure!

⁦@STVStudios⁩ noms! Blue Lights from ⁦@TwoCitiesTV⁩ for Best Drama. Josh Must Win from ⁦@PrimalMedialtd⁩ for Best Programme. Best Original Programme nods for ⁦@RumpusMedia & Joe Lycett, ⁦@RockerdaleTweet⁩’s The Assembly & JMW.

I’ve had one too many updates on the views of right wing extremists on here (SPOILER ALERT apparently nothing is their fault ever), so have jumped on the Bluesky bandwagon and can be found here: @davidmortimer.bsky.social

My personal training gym was kind enough to gift me some free merch. I can’t help feeling this is a flawed marketing strategy given the absolute state of me! #RevivalPersonalTraining in Hammersmith…some clients experience much better results!

Note to self: Try to look like a human being when having my photo taken.

One of the best bits of writing about why football matters so much (to some of us) that I’ve read in a very long time:

Living in NYC in the 90s and liking English football meant paying $10 to some of the worst bars on the planet with your fellow dispossessed. Fast forward to 2024 and the @premierleague is huge. I watched @Arsenal with 100s of fellow Gooners in DC today and bumped into this fella

If this is true @THORPEPARK you should be absolutely ashamed. I speak as someone who was in charge of Logger’s Leap and Space Station Zero during my university summer holidays, so I’m quite the expert.

I’m so pleased for Elaine Collins and the amazing team at Tod Productions for having landed a second season of #CriminalRecord from ⁦@AppleTV⁩. Congratulations go to Elaine from everyone across ⁦@STVStudios⁩!

If you’re in or near Edinburgh then get yourself to Matt’s show…borderline national treasure at this point (particularly if Nottingham ever declares independence).

It’s weird being on a platform that seems to be working to overthrow British democracy and undermine the multicultural UK that I’m so proud of. If you prefer less Nazis in the mix alongside TV gossip and Arsenal stuff, I’m increasingly hanging out here: https://t.co/ta6i902WaO

Bridge of Lies and Celebrity BoL have been recommissioned for a respective fourth and third series! Couldn’t be more pleased for ⁦@RossKemp⁩, Gary Chippington & the whole ⁦@STVStudios⁩ team. Thanks ⁦@BBCOne⁩ for believing in #BridgeofLies

Well done @Josephine_Bee for landing these two amazing hires for the new and improved @RumpusMedia…exciting times ahead and everyone from across @STVStudios will be cheering you all on!

☀️It's summer of commissions at STV! @tuesdayschildtv The Fortune Hotel, Disease X, Hello Mary's Vicky Pattison: Destination Wedding, Owl Power's award-winning Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing and @Interstellar_TV's James Acaster: People Person 👉 https://t.co/Rnz0LJOFZG

Promises from the @MayorofLondon of Piccadilly Line trains stopping at Turnham Green are a distant memory, but with no trains on the District Line, it’s frustrating to see PL trains stop at the platform here for 3 minutes, their doors resolutely closed and then drive off again!
