The award winning Scottish screenwriter Troy Kennedy Martin was born on February 15th 1932 on the Isle of Bute,

Troy Kennedy's most famous film was The Italian Job with it’s iconic line “You’re only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!”

His father was an engineer and his mother a teacher. Moving frequently because of the second world war and his father’s work, his was a talented and creative family. His younger brother, Ian, is also a scriptwriter who created The Sweeney and Juliet Bravo.

The family established themselves in north London, only to have the household income, never large, halved by the death of Troy’s mother when he was 15. The Catholic church helped to keep them afloat, and Troy went to Finchley Catholic grammar school, followed by Trinity College Dublin.

After completing his National Service he wanted to move into the Foreign Office, but Troy, although having a toffee nosed name, did not speak with toffees in hi mouth and was rejected. He thought if he was a published writer this might be a route in so set about work on a short work of poetry of novel, his novel, Beat on a Damask Drum but it wasn’t this that kick started his career on civvy street, but an article he wrote on boy soldiers in Cyprus the BBC picked it up and asked him to adapt it into a TV play. Based on his own experiences during national service as an officer with the Gordon Highlanders, this became the television play Incident at Echo 6, screened in 1958.

He delivered four further plays between 1959-61 before his first series, a six part anthology of original material and adaptations, Storyboard. He followed this with a gritty police drama, The Interrogator. which indirectly led to his next series Z Cars. Kennedy Martin created Z Cars as an antidote to the ‘cosy-cop-on-the-corner’ style TV police series, epitomised by Dixon of Dock Green Z Cars was revolutionary. For the first time the police were portrayed as real human beings, complete with flaws. Prejudiced, bad-tempered, shifty and sometimes even displaying traits (such as wife-beating) more commonly associated with criminals. The police were horrified at first, but eventually came round to regard the series with some affection.

Other selected TV work by Kennedy-Martin includes, Colditz, the brilliant Reilly, Ace of Spies, and Edge of Darkness. Apart from the Italian Job he wrote screenplays for TV Movies Bravo Two Zero, co-written with Andy McNab and Hostile Waters as well as The Sweeney 2 movie. He also wrote the original play and co-wrote the screenplay for the Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jim Belushi film Red Heat.

He died of liver cancer on 15th September 2009, aged 77

I'm currently playing the fourth Deep Sleep game and am reminded of just how good their work is. Almost all of their games (excluding a few like A Small Talk or 400 Years) are available on Steam and I highly highly recommend them, they're amazing pixel horror/survivals

(Personally I recommend the playing order being the Deep Sleep and Don't Escape trilogies (either way round), then Don't Escape: 4 Days To Survive and finally Deep Sleep: Labyrinth of the Forsaken)

I haven’t finished the game yet but please tell me I’m not the only one who ships Amy/Tutu. Okay, so one’s a millennia-old demigod who only exists in dreams and the other is a regular person…I’ve definitely shipped things even less probable than that before.

100% positive reviews. It released just yesterday, but since every other Scriptwelder game on Steam is still Overwhelmingly Positive, I don't see that changing much. Can't wait to play it!
