"I might have to look for some of the Simms photo stills, though. But I suspect I'll refrain from speculating about why he didn't seem happy, because that way lies RPF."
I non-RPF-fully speculate that I too would be bummed if my partner had just given birth to my first daughter days before and I was stuck on a film set doing weird things to the Scissor Sisters, with a revolting cold in the bargain (there are some interview shots of him where he looks like he'd like to topple over and fall asleep right then and there). Though at least he didn't have to don the Peter Pan flying harness like Astro Boy did.
"(And anyway I'm having far more fun fighting off the rabid plotbunny I got this weekend after having finally watching Blackpool -- I assume there's fic out there somewhere about DI Carlisle having a pocket watch somewhere that he's never thought to open, so I won't be tempted to write it myself?)"
Of course, I'm smacking my forehead that this idea never occurred to me, in between feverishly nagging you to write it.
