Midwinter Murders
Written by George Mann

CAST: Katy Manning (Iris Wildthyme), David Benson (Panda)

People are dropping like flies in the Warwickshire village of Midwinter Leys and the number one suspect is Iris Wildthyme. Can Inspector Nettles and Sergeant Spartan find the real culprit before more loveable locals are murdered in increasingly bizarre ways? And will Panda ever get his pork pie?

beyondtheobverse:

So…….I thought I would try my hand at fan-fiction and being a very visual chap I tend to think visually too so I played out the story in my head a little, much like a movie, and make a few sketches of which this is one of them. Now all I need to do is put finger to keyboard and get it written. Hopefully I’ll be done for Halloween because this is one hell of a spooky tale with all the usual ‘Wildthyme’ sass and jollity for good measure. Wish me luck. 

beyondtheobverse:

A page from Iris’ “Journal of Infeasible Doings” - one has to keep one’s sanity whilst stranded in the identity of a Home Economics teacher in Peckham, right? 

beyondtheobverse:

Let’s get going shall we? I have something of a pathological attraction to anything ‘yesteryear’ so the amateurish scribbles that adorn this blog will all be reflection of that. Think of them as time-scooped from a 1950’s that never was. I shan’t waffle, though I am prone to it, as I assume any weary travel that might stumble here will look at the pictures rather the words should anyone stumble here at all. That said, away, away to the Obverse and beyond! *note to self: you really mustn’t make that a catchphrase* 

An Iris and Panda mini figure. From a Warcraft type Doctor Who set (idk about that stuff). Just thought it was cool.

And now 5. Those literary worlds visited by Iris Wildthyme where the prose is as sensual, convoluted and self-aggrandising as Iris herself…

I listened to Project Lazarus today. It was good. It got pretty creepy at some points. None of my drawings were very good. I coloured this one though. There was lots of screaming. In…the audio…of course.
