Thanks for taking time out to answer my thoughts.

I hadn’t thought of it that way before, that film/video is better at placing significant information in the background of shots. That’s something that can be difficult in writing — at least I find it difficult — and often requires a setting to be introduced earlier than the.…[Read more]

They did a bit of broadcasting from there.

There’s a wiki on Radio Caroline which mentions ship and storm damage. Mi Amigo is the main one

I did link to it and the LV18 info but the site here seems not to like my posts so I am trying again without.

I’ve never tried an all-dialogue story, but have to say what were served up here showed similar skills to Kennedy’s.
