Andrew Collins on The Wrong Mans

Having been involved in the show's promotion within the industry, I feel quite attached to it, but if I'd never met anybody connected with it and just seen the first two episodes, I'd say: watch it. It's right on so many levels.

Andrew Collins blog - Gates open

People often ask me what it takes to write for TV. I'll tell you: patience. Actually, patience and perseverance. It was in December 2009 that I was first approached by the exec producer of what would eventually become Gates.

Something in the water

It's brilliant. It's recognisably a British take on suburban, middle-class manners and media exploitation, and the familiar if unusually-cast faces of Chris Langham and Simon Amstell also give you something to go on, but Black Pond is not your average film.

Recording diary: Day 6. Strange magic

Having recorded outside in the car park on Tuesday, and in a van in the car park yesterday, studio director Wilfredo had us all outside in the cloudless sunshine again this morning for some more exterior scenes.

Recording diary: Day 4. Discovery

It's weird to sit on this side of the glass. The actors know that we can hear every word they're saying when they're in there, but unless we press "talkback", they can't hear us. It's an unfair dynamic, but it spells out who's boss.

Recording diary: Day 3. On the third day

Day Three of Mr Blue Sky, and it's all slotting together. We had an easy morning, in that we recorded all of Harvey's monologues.

Recording diary: Day 2. Out the blue

Day Two of Mr Blue Sky Series 2. The palatial middle studio at Soundhouse on what is now an ominously deserted industrial estate in Shepherd's Bush is our place of work until the end of next week.
