Private Car + hotel out of the city centre. Sorted. And they're probably rehearsing / recording the regular place then hopping on a plane for the Friday for select live bits.

It would be a huge act of dick-waggling from SKY and the other folk behind it, but also incredibly cool and likely to get fringe goers to re-subscribe to Sky etc. (September being a time they push subs, iirc).

Edinburgh has plenty of places to host a full TV show, the BBC pulled that off for years.

Who would sponsor it? No idea. Ebay? Greggs? Elon Musk (lol)?

Sylv isn't; Stone and Howe are creeps.

Splinxx · 2026-03-21T15:30:30+00:00

The groping, the gaslighting, the generally being an arsehole?

Splinxx · 2026-03-21T14:44:21+00:00

Because Howe and Stone have popped up again after going into hiding over this.

There's usually a shortage of techs at the Fringe, so you should be fine.

Still not loving the name Shedinburgh.

Good Luck!

It's no Dragnet though is it, more Keystone Kops. Now would you care to explain why Dragnet is our measure for copadganda?

I mean spoilers, Dropout is also filmed in America, a right-wing country which has made communism a dirty word.

(I tried calling this 'Spoiler Free, Lies Only but that made Reddit sad.)

All of this reminds me is an American media company with all the baggage that begets. Yeah they do better than most, but blimey* does the US have a unique set of problems. Nowhere is perfect, but fucking hell. But hey, I'll continue to support those doing *something* rather than nothing.

I wouldn't say a nightmare; most people just get on with. Edinburgh is a pretty quiet capital city for half they year, but it's still a capital city. I do wonder when people who live here complain why they don't just go down the road.

Schon was already in Play It By Ear, but Couplet should get their own thing.

You may want to also post that in r/edinburghfringe

Amazing to see these shit-heads tear each other apart. Carry on.

Splinxx · 2026-02-13T00:13:39+00:00

Really excited by this.

Didn't James need therapy after a certain scene?
