Soon to be Seen

Having been passed over for the most recent Rebus, I've just been cast by the Comedy Unit in the next series of Legit. No script as yet, but as it's only one day & the character doesn't have an actual name I'm not betting on its being a great part. Still looking forward to it, though.

Work's getting really hard to come by up here and BBC Scotland filming Scotland-based series in London, Manchester and Liverpool doesn't help one little bit. There's already less money put into regional production than is paid in licence fees, so to see them take what money they have and spend it out of Scotland is disgusting.

If Jane Tranter, who defended the practice to Equity, or anyone responsible for the decision at BBC Scotland might be reading let me reveal a wee secret to you:

Nobody was watching Sea of Souls because Bill Patterson was in it. That's why they got through the preceding series with almost no input from him.

So when the miserable little shit refused, again, to come and work in Scotland it was not necessary to pander to him and move the production South thus costing Scots actors and technicians work which is becoming as rare as hen's teeth.
