In horror movie sequels the nightmare continues, but hopefully the 3rd edition of my book “Planning” will end the nightmare of navigating your way around the new planning system. After delivering the text to the publishers today, I am certainly looking forward to getting to a bed at a reasonable hour again – but I’m typing this at 11pm, so not tonight!
It’s been a very satisfying personal voyage, and I feel sorry for J K Rowling that her creation of Hogwarts really can’t match the magnificent complexities of our new planning system, but I fear that her books are more exciting than mine.

From that, I think Martin Freeman is a shoo-in to play you in the movie version of Planning III.
All the best,
