Wasn't Davey Sneddon in Take the High Road?

I'm thinking of the guy who won the BBCV's ill-fated Fame Academy and then sank like a stone. He's due a relaunch.

Isn't he too young for doctors? It normally has actors you haven't seen since 1981.

He could bring in the "youth" audience.

Maybe they could use Rosie Ribbons too, she was one of the Pop Idol finalists and her name still makes me laugh.
And that bloke who thought he was all 'indie' and a rebel. I used to like Fame Academy. Apart from that great tit Keilty, of course. I wonder what happened to that lesbian dwarf who won it one year?
Quote: Matt Elms @ December 3 2008, 1:00 PM GMTI'm not even a writer and I found that programme inspiring. Hell! It's the reason I'm on this forum now. I've always wanted to write and started to do so about 10 years ago but it got brushed aside. My head has been racing all morning with ideas and I think it's about time I started getting them on paper and seeing what I come up with!
Aw. Yay!

Ha, Alex. Forgot about her.
I liked Alistair, who she beat. Damn her.
Quote: Marc P @ December 3 2008, 12:12 PM GMTPresumably he was just pointing out that it was a clunky way of explaining it was her wedding day as nobody ever says happy wedding day I guess?
He also said 'who ever calls their sister: 'sis''. Which I thought was odd, as I do. What else am I supposed to call her? Mrs Ashman?
Does she not have a first name?

Her first name? Odd, I know. I've never called my sisters 'sis' or 'sister', I call them by their names!

Yep, but that feels absurdly businesslike and formal if I used it.
Actually, that's not entirely true - I do use it on occassion, but I do mainly use corrupted versions of it, or 'sis' in stead.
You're so weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeird!!!

I take it you only have one sister.
Quote: Dolly Dagger @ December 3 2008, 1:58 PM GMTI take it you only have one sister.
Yeah. But then, I'd still probably be happy enough using 'sis' if there was only one around.
Quote: Dolly Dagger @ December 3 2008, 9:38 AM GMTDoes anyone know what Russell T Davies was referring to when he said the opening line was "Happy wedding day sis" (or something?)
Gavin and Stacey, possibly? Maybe somebody who can be bothered can check...
I just had a quick look on YouTube. I think I'm wrong.
