Came in here wondering if it was referring to the Polanski movie by the same name (it’s not).

I used to think ghostwriter (for kids) was the coolest show

Not mentioned: the pen used for the handwriting sequences is the Papermate Flair, a common choice for "on-screen writing" in the standard definition era because of its heavy and clean line. The design is still sold today.

You've taken me down a wonderful nostalgia hallway that I forgot existed. Thanks for posting this. That show was one of my favorites on PBS.

Had no idea that there’s a reboot of this show currently on AppleTV: https://tv.apple.com/us/show/ghostwriter/umc.cmc.3z6okqcnxoo...

We used to watch this in primary school (in mid-Wales c. 1995/96) as part of the school curriculum, I remember nostalgically searching for it on YouTube not so long back and noticed Samuel L. Jackson was a part of it.

Never heard of it. Feel like I should have, but checking YouTube, nope.

Thought this would be about the recent NN typewriter.
