wee_mangoHahahah OMG Paul McGann's on Nightwatch with Steve Scott (a sort of policing programme)!! He's talking about his role as Percy Toplis from The Monocled Mutineer as they're doing some sort of MM special on tonight's show. ♥
ETA: here's an interesting little tidbit from the man himself (**spoilers for those who haven't seen MM**). Paul mentioned filming the scene with Toplis getting (fatally) shot and when it wrapped, he and a few others including one of the makeup artists got into a car and left the location (I think he said they filmed it near to where Toplis was killed in real life), somewhere a town called Plumpton. Whilst driving back, the (brand new) car failed/completely shut down/off in a certain part of the road where Toplis was thought to have been killed...Paul said he smiled when this happened and said aloud "Good on ya", referring to Toplis 'haunting' the spot where he'd died and causing the car to stop functioning. ;) Hmmm.
