About the music

I scored a number of minutes in episodes 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 under lead composer Nainita Desai. The music is orchestral, electronic, ethnic and eclectic, with elements of epic adventure and playful intrigue. A absolute joy to be involved with.

About the show

An adaptation of the classic H. G. Wells novel, Nautilus follows Nemo and his ragtag crew as they steal a formidable prototype submarine and escape into the Indian Ocean, determined to take revenge on the evil East India Mercantile Company and the British Empire. A rollicking adventure with glorious undersea creatures and righteous purpose.

The fairytale anthology series After Ever After returns to Sky (UK) at Christmas with a sequel to Little Red Riding Hood. This is the fourth instalment of the festive comedy drama of Christmas specials.

Broadcast 23rd December Sky Max, 8pm; streaming on Sky and NowTV.

“Fifty years after the events of the classic fairy-tale, a grown-up Red Riding Hood has established a fearsome reputation within the village of Wolferton as a deadly Wolf Buster, hunting down wolves with her Wolf Blaster and ridding them from the forest forever. Red’s eager and intelligent granddaughter Red Riding Boots wants desperately to become a Wolf Buster herself, having listened to her grandmother tell the famous story many times.

“When two wealthy German tourists Helga and Otto arrive demanding to see a real-life wolf, Plank and his son Chip do their best to con as much money out of them as possible, even if that involves Chip going into the deep dark forest all alone. Boots takes matters into her own hands and hunts down a wolf where she learns from a wise old owl called Twit that the forest is suffering and out of balance, making Mother Nature very angry that the natural order of the forest is being disrupted.

“Boots decides that she must save wolves from extinction after all.”
