Pleasant Green Update - February 2026

Hey Greeners (Greenies? Do we need a collective noun?)

Despite the recent arrival of De Kliek 6 (about time), it has been a while since I spoke to you all directly so I thought it was about time. Things are moving forward, and I'm about to tell you about the brand new Attic experience, but first...

Crowley and Mythos 4

I heard the full edited season of Crowley this week. The location sound beds are in (David Thomas took the time to visit Cambridge and Beachy Head, to get location sound from Crowley's old stomping grounds), so all that's missing now is music. I am very happy to report that the whole thing sounds great and this series is AWESOME. It's different from what we have done before, but it works really well. I listened to it all on walks over the past week, and there were several times where I laughed out loud. (For clarity, I'm not laughing at my own jokes, so much as the actors' delivery of my own jokes, so that's permissible).

I also have a speech-only edit of Mythos 4 in my inbox now, so that is also progressing well. Both shows are on schedule for delivery late March.

The work on these series has been intensive, so the physical merchandise schedule has taken a bit of a hit. I'm hoping that you'll all be so happy to hear the shows digitally, that you'll forgive a slight delay on the physical deliveries.

The return of the Seasons 1 and 2...

In other news, we're currently in conversation with the BBC about reinstating all the Lovecraft Investigations shows to their feed. Hopefully that will happen soon. I'll keep you up to date on that one, and I'm sorry some of the seasons have been unavailable for so long. We are working on it.

A Brand New Attic

Until now, I have never quite been able to realise my vision for the Attic. I want it to be an encyclopaedia of the universe, in depth, comprehensive, and entertaining. But it hasn't got there. That's partly down to a lack of time, partly to a lack of technical competence, but mostly down to the sheer weight of material that I need to take apart and make sense of (I know wrote it, but it's been a while!).

Over the past week or so, though, I have been experimenting with letting Anthropic's Claude take a leisurely wander through all of the radio scripts, online serials etc. I'm as sceptical about AI as the next person, but limiting Claude to just the contents of documents I had created, and having it pull out entries, make connections etc has been really illuminating. Not only did it surface things I had completely forgotten about, but it has been able to untangle some quite complicated lore which would have taken me forever.

While Claude does a lot of the heavy lifting, this has still been an intensive process, because I don't want to publish anything that doesn't come up to snuff, so everything was checked, edited, altered, and re-checked before it went live (that is not to say you won't find a mistake within minutes, obviously).

The new Attic is up now for paid subscribers. Each entry is so much richer and more detailed than anything that went before. Want to go in depth on the origins of the Department of Works, the intricacies of the Melusine Ritual, the deep history of Ipqu-Aya? It's all there. It's by no means complete yet, but the system is set up to allow me to add to it as we go, and now I have a roadmap.

Please check it out, I think you'll love it.

Cartoon Gravity

I suspect most of you already know this, but if your interests extend beyond the Pleasant Green Universe, my regular site is Cartoon Gravity and that's where I post about things that interest me, and where subscribers can get a behind-the-scenes take on the film and TV business from the point of view of someone who actually does this for a living. Head on over if that sounds interesting.

Have a great week. If you need me, I'll be hanging out at the Cartoon Gravity Club.
