After a long and tortuous pitching process, I'm delighted to announce that I will be designing the brand new GMTV re-launch called Daybreak.

I'm really looking forward to getting stuck in with this very exciting project, and am so delighted to have got the job.

I'm now feverishly working away to get it all designed and built in time, which will be no mean feat.

I'm also involved in a slight update to the Loose Women set, which has to be complete at the same time for the new ITV launch.

So, exciting but busy times ahead....

It's been a very busy few months.

Qi is now almost finished (Series H) and there's one final block of The Chase next week.

The John Bishop Echo Arena gig went well, as did Frankie Boyle at the Hammersmith Apollo.

The 5 O'Clock Show is up and running and I'm in a Rock n Roll Band Live went down a storm.

Next up, is a new series of Top Gear which starts filming in studio on June 23rd, and another series of Mock The Week. I'm also off to Liverpool for another John Bishop show, and also have some sculptures showing at this years Henley Festival.

Just time to post a couple of quick pictures from I'm In A Rock n Roll Band Live, which went out on BBC2 on Saturday at 10pm, hosted by Jonathan Ross

It was  a fantastic evening and the set seems to have been well received.

Starring Jonathan Ross, with panelists Stewart Copeland, Lauren Laverne and Mark Radcliffe

So The Chase has now started airing on ITV weekdays at 5pm.

Currently I'm working on the new series of Qi.....Series H....always a joy

I'm also working on the soon to be launched 5 O'Clock Show on Channel 4, starring Peter Andre initially.

That's also been fun to do. Apart from that, I'm designing a couple more stand up shows. Another for the great John Bishop. this time I'm designing a stage set for his Liverpool Empire gig, and am also doing a set for Frankie Boyle at the hammersmith Apollo in a couple of weeks.

The big job of the moment though is BBC's I'm In A Rock 'n' Roll Band Live, which airs live on BBC 2 on Sat 5th June, hosted by Jonathan Ross.

I'm really looking forward to that, and the set has been fun to design.

June sees the start of another series of Mock The Week and the start of a new series of Top Gear, and a final block of The Chase.

Back soon with more news.....

It's been a busy time, hence the lack of blogging.

Having finished a series of the Comedy Store for Open Mike Prods, and then working on some very funny pre-records with Kevin Bishop and Mitchell & Webb for Ch4's Comedy Gala, I've been working on a few stand up shows.

First was Rhod Gilbert & The Cat That Looked Like Nicholas Lyndhurst, live at the Hammersmith Apollo, and next I'm working on John Bishop's Elvis Has Left The Building tour at Liverpools Echo Arena.

Both fun jobs for great comedians.

I'm now working on the new Olga TV Five O'Clock Show which starts filming in a few weeks time, and am also doing a fantastic live music show for the BBC early June.

There's also a brand new series of Qi starting up any day, which is always a joy and another series of Mock The Week.

On top of all that, Top Gear starts up again shortly, and I'm currently involved in a few bits and bobs for location, all of which is very exciting and challenging.

....must get on.....

This week I finish on the 5 week shoot of Grandma's House at Pinewood Studios. It's a brand new sitcom for Tiger Aspect starring Simon Amstell.

I've built a 1930's style semi which part matches an existing house we shot in on location. It's been a lovely job.

Next I'm doing another series of The Comedy Store for Comedy Central, and have also just shot a pilot comedy taster tape for Dave which was fantastic and well deserves to be picked up. Shot over the weekend on location, it was colder inside than out by some margin. Great script, great cast, great crew.

The second series of The Chase for ITV starts up soon, followed by another series of Q.i and then Top Gear.

There's a number of other projects in the pipeline, so watch this space (if you're interested)

Here's a link to the Pop Promo I worked on in January, featuring the band Donkeyboy.

The current series of Mock The week finishes, and I'm on to a sitcom called Grandma's House for the BBC.

There's a new series of The Comedy Store in March, The Chase in April, and a new series of Qi in May.

OK, so for the pedants, it's not strictly a new decade until next year, but hopefully 2010 will be another great year.

Work so far is shaping up nicely.

• I'm designing a pop promo for a new band called Donkeyboy

So my last set of the year, literally, was for Hogmanay Live 2009 for the BBC.

The Scots really know how to throw a party.
