    Tonight’s episode of Emmerdale will be my last for a while. I’m proud of the work I manage to do on the show… but you’re only as good as the people you get to work with and, on this particular episode, I was truly blessed. 🙌 Not one for the faint-hearted.

    After an extremely busy festive schedule we finally get 2 days off from our show before the final 16 performances. #AChristmasCarol Unfortunately/fortunately I’m overlapping these with my prep for directing new episodes of Emmerdale. Our business… it’s either feast or famine! 🤷‍♂️ #NoComplaints

    ‘Fletcher’s Family Farm’ is fun; set in the Peak District, and the star acted on a show about a farm (Emmerdale Farm), which for me adds a kind of je ne sais quoi to the whole thing Four seasons, I think, and 10 episodes in each season, around 45 minutes per episode

    This. So many amazing writers got their start writing for series with a relatively quick turnaround (e.g. Emmerdale), so you can see your script on screen within a few months. My mentor had this experience: it lets you learn a lot really fast - because you *see* what works and what doesn't.

    It's massively entrenched in the ITV schedule to the point where it's almost like trying to kill off Emmerdale even if the era of the 'blooper clips show' has long been reduced to schedule stuffing.
