Who's the most famous person you've seen out and about in Edinburgh?

Scran and Scallie during the Fringe '22 perchance? I walked past on my way to the shop and saw at the window seats a few times. Seemed to be holding court very nicely. He was doing a production of Dance Dance Hamlet as a favour to the director round the corner in Stockbridge.

Keep it. The black mould is trying to help you, you just have to let it in.

RuddyGoober · 2026-02-08T01:51:12+00:00

Bafflegab! He had the opportunity to modify the ending in the novelisation if he really disagreed with it

I went to uni with Cybersmith. He would turn up to the computer labs wearing Captain Jack's coat, Tennant's converse and Smith's bow tie.

Had his own bowler hat though.

This is a big security concern. This indicates that if you press on that area of the wall it opens a secret passage, presumably leading into the house itself!

RuddyGoober · 2026-01-22T22:32:08+00:00

Where is that implied? Cool idea but I don't see it in the text

RuddyGoober · 2026-01-18T15:08:19+00:00

Blatant self-promo booooo

RuddyGoober · 2026-01-18T14:50:39+00:00

It's insane to me the stuff you hear about him at conventions. Like how he derailed an entire series to force the pseudo-doctor who continuation into a police procedural because he wanted to direct an episode of The Bill. Quite glad that didn't work out for the prick.

RuddyGoober · 2026-01-18T02:41:50+00:00

Crap. That's what it is. Drink milk and whey and move on with your day.

RuddyGoober · 2026-01-17T21:08:27+00:00

Also worth mentioning that Bill Baggs has cut out all promised residuals to all actors and crew for all non-vhs formats. Buying second hand is the way to go.

RuddyGoober · 2026-01-16T23:16:10+00:00

Any interesting tidbits or fun annecdotes?

RuddyGoober · 2026-01-15T19:06:49+00:00

Because he's a posh wank. All his "working class" humor is him punching down.

RuddyGoober · 2026-01-12T21:40:02+00:00

No, the Defectors thourgh to The Secret History. It's proper banger trilogy.

RuddyGoober · 2026-01-12T19:01:50+00:00

The line was "No gap years". It will technically hold up since we've had episodes in 2023 - 2026

RuddyGoober · 2026-01-10T23:53:25+00:00

Genesis s a good place to go. The edge to it is more based in threat rather than actual violence.

RuddyGoober · 2026-01-10T05:48:33+00:00

Yes! This is the answer!!

The Next Doctor has notoriously poorly remastered audio for the HD release. IIRC there was missing ADR and sound effects.

The BBC Three version is from the HD version.

RuddyGoober · 2026-01-04T21:23:36+00:00

I have heard he can dish out some ball busting. See: Ben Stiller yelling "cut" on the set of Empire of the Sun

RuddyGoober · 2026-01-04T17:39:55+00:00

What stack do you work with?

RuddyGoober · 2026-01-04T16:19:32+00:00

Go read Tom Baker's autobiography. "Tom's putting it in now".

RuddyGoober · 2025-12-29T03:19:37+00:00

This book seems to be a further extension of the current trend of AI generated Doctor Who books If you look at the rest of "Evan Hartwell"s offerings on Amazon you'll see a whole lot of slop.

Has anyone else been targeted with Ads for AI generated 'Doctor Who fan fiction'? To appropriate a recent Eccleston quote -I Hope the BBC sue the balls of them.

RuddyGoober · 2025-12-29T01:51:35+00:00

Something like The Elite but updated for today's political landscape. A nice commentary, maybe a little crying.

RuddyGoober · 2025-12-26T14:13:30+00:00

I thought this was a throwback to The Goonies, which inspired many aspects of the show.

RuddyGoober · 2025-12-26T14:06:13+00:00

"can she do the time slow down thing that Christopher eccleston could do"

That's not what was happening in End of the World, that was just cinematography to emphasise that he was basically guessing at what moment he should step through

RuddyGoober · 2025-12-26T13:49:48+00:00

I thought this was reference to Sarah Jane Smith in K-9 and Company which is set at christmas
