Dear Friends,

We received the result from the BBC Commisioners regarding Afraid of the Dark which was on the shortlist for a number of weeks.

It was rejected.

Here at Wilkinson Productions Audio, from our exectutive producer, Roger Elsgood, producer Richard Shannon, director, Carl Prekopp, writer, Bruce Bigg and script supervisor, Emily Reader, we were all a litte stunned. 

As you will know all to well, this is a tough business. 

My personal thanks to everyone involved. You are all outstanding professionals and a pleasure to work with. I cannot wait until our next adventure in the Audio realm.

It is with great pleasure that I can announce that CODE CRACKERS, Wilkinson Productions Ltd, new musical comedy will be published by UMP (United Musical Publsihers ltd) very soon.

The musical score, songs and lyrics written by Garry Wilkinson.

The story and stage production scripted by Andrew (Andy) Wilkinson.

Garry and I are so thrilled and excited.

No futher updates, as of this post, re BBC Commisioning. As soon as we hear anything I will let you know.

 

Wishing you a great summer everyone! 

I know it is difficult at this moment in history, to stay positive, however, all we can do is make our part of the world a little bit better.

I try and make every new day a little bit better than the day before. Even if yesterday was a perfect creative day, you can do a little bit more to help others through their difficult moments!

The image on the left is a frame from the storyboards for our family, swashbuckling adventure film called "Fortune's Luck" (currently in devlopment).

We image our Radio/Audio commissioning proposals are in the locked chest, the one the Pirate Captain is watching over. Like schindler's cat, the submissions are either rejected or shortlisted, we just don't know until the chest has finally been opened!

We will of course post the results as soon as we are told them. 

Please still keep your fingers crossed for us in the meantime!!

Until we meet again!

Stay useful, helpful & positive!

Andy ☺️
