'But surely,' he said, 'that must be an orange.'

Well, here it is.

I have to say - for a verrrry long time, Quality Control was one of those David Tennant credits that sat on my research list surrounded by question marks. As I'd shared beore on A Tennantcy To Act, I knew the film had been broadcast, but beyond that, very little seemed certain.

All of that changed very quickly once I found Hannah Lewis, who wrote and directed the film, and Duncan McLean, whose short story inspired it. From them came surviving VHS copies, production records, recovered memories....and eventually, the original 16mm print itself.

None of this would have happened without Hannah's generosity. Not only did she preserve the film all these years, she very kindly gave permission for me to share it with y'all, so that David's fans could finally see it.

So, after years of research and more than a few unexpected twists along the way, I'm delighted to finally share Quality Control.

Enough from me. You've waited long enough.

Hello all!

As we approach the 1-year anniversary of Holmwood Season One, I thought I'd make a post regarding our current position with season two and the future of THF.

First of all, and most excitingly: We have a funding avenue, and we hope to have it locked down by the end of this year. It's not how we would have expected or hoped to fund season two (securing external funding for the arts in the UK is still extremely difficult without a huge name, brand or following behind you, and so self-funding is our only option if we want to complete this series) but we're extremely grateful for it nonetheless.

With that in mind, we have continued to redraft our Season Two scripts, with the aim of having them locked down for production as soon as we have our funding/ cast any additional roles.

At time of writing, Season Two is still about ten episodes long, each about an hour (10k words), and we've just re-locked the first three to send to our editor, Kat.

The rest are approaching the same state of completion, so we're hopeful to have a complete season locked and ready to go as soon as we're able.

Our Jonathan Harker 3rd and Asset #6-centric minisode is on track for release the second week of June, as we're just adding the finishing touches to audio. Watch out for updates and a release announcement in the very near future!
