Clips, links and audio

30th April 2012

I thought I'd pop up some links to clips, or indeed whole episodes of shows, I have worked on recently (and some I worked on over four years ago).

BBC Radio Wales Sunday Show
As well as a link to the most recent show, there are now "clips" at the bottom of the BBC Radio Wales show page where some "Best Bits" will end up.

Social Club FM
I co-wrote this sitcom with Elis James and Chris Corcoran, based on the "Chis Corcoran's Committee Meeting" live shows. Details on the series are here and, despite finishing in March, someone has kindly popped all five episodes up online: 
Social Club FM - Episodes 1 - 5

Elis James' Pantheon of Heroes
The Welsh History series, written by Elis James, Benjamin Partridge and I and starring Elis, Ben and Nadia Kamil came off iPlayer a while ago. However, a clip of the show about Welsh Rugby (taken from the episode "Heroic Failures" can be found here?
Pantheon of Heroes - The diaries of Jonny Wilkinson and Andy Powell

There was also a great selection of "Online Extras" produced for the series, which are still available at the bottom of the show's webpage. Stand-ups Henry Widdicombe, Lloyd Langford, Wes Paker, Mike Bubbins and Clint Edwards talk about a different hero they think should be added to the Pantheon of Heroes.

There's also a bit by me about Perce Blackborow

There will be a second series of the show later in the year.

Roop and Tom
And finally, to mark the release of the film "Battleship", Roop and Tom have uploaded a trailer for the film which we made for XFM South Wales back in 2008, when the film was first announced.

They've uploaded a few more bits from their time at GWR Bath, Fox FM and XFM South Wales. Have a look at Roop and Tom on Soundcloud.

January 2012 Update

12th January 2012

It's been a while since I've updated this website, but it looks like it's going to be a busy start to 2012, so it made sense to put some links to the shows I'll be working on over the next few months.

Pantheon Of Heroes

This Friday (and indeed, the five Fridays that follow it) at 7pm on BBC Radio Wales, you'll be able to hear "Elis James' Pantheon of Heroes" - A brand new series starring Elis, Benjamin Partridge and Nadia Kamil and written by Elis, Ben and I. As well as the episodes appearing on iPlayer, there are also going to be some online extras too, where you'll be able to see me talking about Welsh adventurer Perce Blackborow.

Social Club FM

Last summer, I produced a pilot for BBC Radio Wales written by and starring Chris Corcoran and Elis James called "Social Club FM". I'm pleased to say it's got a full series, and this time round, I'll actually be helping out with the writing of the episodes. The series starts on the 24th February with a repeat of the pilot, and there will be four more episodes after that. If you think the writing tails off and the production quality improves, I can only apologise.

Newsjack

I'll be script editing two episodes of the sixth series of Newsjack for BBC Radio 4 Extra. The series starts on 23rd February. As always, you can submit material to newsjack@bbc.co.uk but please check out the writer's guide first.

On the subject of writing opportunities, I've been doing some bits and bobs for the BBC College of Production. There?s an interview with me as part of the "I didn't get where I am today" series and I also took part in the podcast on writing Comedy and Drama. Later in the month there will also be another podcast on sketch writing featuring John-Luke Roberts.

Early Morning Sunday Show

I'm still presenting my Sunday morning show on BBC Radio Wales, which you can listen to on the BBC Radio Wales website.

In fact, this Sunday, being the Sunday closest to "Blue Monday", we?ll be doing our best to counteract the influence of the so-called "most depressing day of the year" by playing nothing but summer records. So if you've got any ideas, drop me an email to gareth@bbc.co.uk or get in touch with me on twitter.

May/June 2011 Update

29th May 2011

A couple of iPlayer links to shows I've been working on recently.

Reception is a pilot sketch show for BBC Radio 2 which I have been script editing. This impressions show went out on 28 May, and will be on iPlayer for a week.

"What's The Story?" - BBC Radio Wales' topical panel game hosted by Justin Waite, is back for its fourth series and once again, I'll be producing the show. It is recorded in the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama on Thursday nights and goes out on Friday at 7pm (repeated at 4.30pm on Sundays). Tickets for the recordings are available from tickets@tidyproductions.co.uk.

And this link should take you to the latest edition of my BBC Radio Wales Sunday morning show.
