Where *does* he consider home? Kings Bruton in Somerset, where boys "cannot drift or hide..."?
Sounds lovely for Mountain Minimus. Details are obscure before that.
Anyway, one less baronet in the colony, eh.

I was trying to remember where I'd seen Dom Watters, star of Christmas in Scotland. It was playing Spanky in The Slab Boys at the Ramshorn in March 2010.

Not only does Root of Evil feature a 12 Yr old Joe McFadden, there's also Kirsty (Maggie) Miller, whom I worked with in Pinter's The Birthday Party in the early summer of 1996.

I had my 30th in the Tron and ushered there for about a year in the mid-90s. You can see the vom that vanished with refurbishment. Coincidentally, I was in a play about Lizzie Borden (Blood Relations) that year.

Taggart: Root of Evil presents a colourful snapshot of Glasgow 1988. The terrifying Coca-Cola Roller I went on twice and the Tron's Victorian Bar. Murphy's was my pint in those days.

Sinead Keenan ( werewolf, Vinvocci) & John Michie in Ruchill Park- the East End, in Taggart's parallel geography. I think North Glasgow is full of hidden gems; amazing views to the south and East.

A couple of cameos. I think the lady in red is "Officer Karen" Bartke, one of the kindest, most thoughtful people you could meet.
Iain Mossman, I think, as a cop. A friend of my brother from Chapelton in the 80s-90s.

The late Iain McColl. A gentleman. I took part in a radio workshop at BBC Scotland with him in the 90s. Led by Hamish Wilson ( the alternate Jamie in Dr Who: The Mind Robber, 1968).
