Matthew and Keith have arranged and produced a merseybeat style version of the theme song for BBC One's revival of GOODNIGHT SWEETHEART starring Nicholas Lyndhurst.
Original creators Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran have written a brand new episode and Nicholas Lyndhurst will reprise his role as time traveller Gary Sparrow. Goodnight Sweetheart, the much-loved 90s British sitcom which ran for six series on BBC One starring Nicholas Lyndhurst (Only Fools And Horses, New Tricks) is returning for a one-off special episode as part of the landmark sitcom season. It was be produced by legendary sitcom producer Humphrey Barclay and executive produced by Jon Rolph for Retort, the FremantleMedia UK. |
Matthew's new album SERIOUS MEN has been released by Lonely Goat Records. Following in the vein of FALLEN ANGELS and PERFECT WORLD NOW POSSIBLE, the new release lampoons wealthy hipsters, desperate apocalyptics and offended Millennials.
SERIOUS MEN is available at iTunes, Amazon, and Spotify. The cinematic sweep of his dark stories are shot through with satirical humour. Lovers, psychopaths, ordinary Joes all crop up in his work, and as one reviewer put it, Strachan is as comfortable writing about Tennessee Klansmen as he is about romance. "Baby boomers, a wealthy man who hates his family and “what a Muppet campaign song for Donald Trump would sound like”. He is able to sing about anything" My Entertainment World |
Matthew has composed music for the Cahoots Theatre production of J.B. Priestly's THE ROUNDABOUT at the Park Theatre this summer. This delightful comedy was described by The Spectator as "remarkably good entertainment" but has subsequently disappeared from view.
The Kettlewells are a dysfunctional family. Richard is an old Etonian whose business ventures are failing. Over one crowded weekend, his daughter Pamela, whom he hardly knows, returns from Russia, a passionate communist; his ex-wife and mistress both turn up; and his butler has a big win at the races. THE ROUNDABOUT is a funny, touching, highly perceptive look at England in the 1930s, when it looked, just possibly, as if the social order might be changing. THE ROUNDABOUT was directed by Hugh Ross with design by Polly Sullivan and lighting by David Howe. |
