I'll take one very tall man with a bent nose, please.

In case you're wondering, yes Stephen Fry is narrating Benjamin Sniddlegrass and the Cauldron of Penguins. I sat down with the man I've idolized since I was prepubescent this afternoon and laid down the track. He was as lovely as you might expect, his performance exceeded my wildest expectations and he pronounced the script 'very funny'. Well, if that didn't just make my year.
 

He also suggested I rope Michael Sheen in for a cameo, as he not only can play anyone but is a friend of Wittertainment. Perhaps he'd be up for portraying a sociopathic wizard with the head of a gorilla?

Announcing start of production on 'School Variations'

Today, we are pleased to announce to announce start of production on Seven Shells Media's first audio drama - 'School Variations' by writer/director Jeremy Dylan.

The play follows the exploits of Australian-born Cambridge undergraduates Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, who moonlight as consulting detectives to pay their way through university. But when they go up against Professor James Moriarty, they may have hit upon their toughest case yet.

'Conan Doyle's characters have proved remarkably resilient to adaptation over the years,' says writer-director Jeremy Dylan. 'We've had Sherlock the teenager, Sherlock fights the Nazis, Sherlock in retirement, fat Sherlock, bald Sherlock - the list is endless. I feel we've captured the essence of Doyle's characters, while transplanting them to a contemporary setting'.

School Variations will be recorded in May for a release later this year.
