Oh yeah. They're one of those authors I keep bumping into across multiple fandoms and when I scroll back up to check the author go, Hang on, isn't that... and then it turns out that they are, in fact, that.

I do recommend the Brittas Empire - I think most people nowadays only know of it because "it's that thing that Chris Barrie was doing during Red Dwarf Series V-VII" but it's a pretty good comedy in its own right. Nothing out of this world, but the supporting cast are excellent (Brittas's poor wife Helen and his deputy Laura are my favourites), it's a lot less cringy than you'd expect given the premise, and it does some very good episode-long jokes. It gets to the point where you're laughing before the payoff, because you've just realised exactly what's about to happen to that rubber ducky from the five minute mark.

(incidentally, good icon.)
