Heartfelt thanks to Gary Philipson and the BBC Tees team for welcoming us onto the show — a nervous moment that turned into pure magic. We talked about Man on the Moon, how village life shaped the story, and how family helps bring ideas to life. As a thank you, we created this lifelike portrait of Gary.
Storie's and folklore from the pit village.

Beneath the Water
Beneath the Water
Our world hides a strange place, hundreds of miles from everywhere; secretive and hidden from view. This is known as Topia Island - for those that live on this island. If you travel there, you’ll hear the strangest of noises echoing through a dense tropical forest. At night Topia seemsmagical, as stars above twinkle in the dark night sky showering the ground below, giving sparkling light to the tropical plants that grow.
A game of strategy, speed, and memory — made in memory of my sister.
Initial Square is more than just a game. It’s a tribute to the quiet moments that meant the world — a simple pen-and-paper game played with my late sister, brought to life with a modern, glowing twist.
We’d sit for hours sketching out grids, taking turns to claim squares, laughing at who could finish first. That time, that laughter — that connection — is what this game is all about.
Now, I’ve recreated it for a new generation, blending nostalgia with technology. It’s fast, fun, and challenging whether you play solo, against friends, or even test yourself against Sol — your built-in AI opponent.
