Thanks Auntie Beeb…for repeating the entire first two series of RED AND BLUE, my wargame/state of the planet drama series which I’ve been writing over the last four or five years.
The war to create a greater Kurdistan…the SAS in the desert…a terror attack on London…a global pandemic that will decimate humankind…these are just some of the nightmare scenarios I’ve written about. Think DOOMWATCH without the cheery optimism…(!) NOTE FOR YOUNGER READERS: That was a TV series once upon a time…in the days before Netflix.
I was privileged to work with the great Tim Woodward, who plays wargamist supreme Bradley Shoreham, playing against wonderful talents like Lloyd Hutchinson, Bill Paterson and Harriet Walter.
Episode 1 of Series 1 is on iPlayer now.
Eps 2 and 3 are on successive Thursdays from this week.
Series 2 begins in February.

Dear Phillip
My colleague and I are running cyber wargames for business and I was directed to your play Ransomware, which was excellent! Sadly my colleague did not get a chance to listen to it before the BBC whipped it off iPlayer. I have done a fairly extensive search online but I can’t seem to find it anywhere. Do you know where I might find it for download? (happy to pay!).
Thanks
Will
Delighted you enjoyed it! Write me an email at debatable.spaces@gmail.com and I can suggest ways to access the play. Your cyber wargames sound awesome…
