Dougray Scott, at 60 years old, has recently made headlines after revealing that he was excluded from the cast’s group chat for the BBC series Crookhaven. This revelation came during an appearance on BBC The One Show, where he stated, “I’m not in that group chat.” The series, which features Scott as Caspian Lockett, is based on novels by J.J. Arcanjothe and follows a competition for the Crooked Cup among a group of eight young international pupils.
In the same segment, fellow cast member Carmel Laniado, who plays Penelope, the headmaster’s daughter, responded to Scott’s comment by saying, “I need to add you. I promise you, you honestly would not want to be in it.” This exchange highlights the dynamics within the cast and has sparked discussions among fans regarding the show’s atmosphere.
The series, which is set in a secret academy for thieves, also features a fearsome adversary known as The Nameless. The ensemble cast includes notable actors such as Julie Hesmondhalgh, Keith Allen, and Naomi Wirthner, contributing to the show’s appeal.
Scott’s exclusion from the group chat raises questions about the relationships among the cast members. While Laniado expressed gratitude for her opportunities at a young age, stating, “To be able to do this now at 21, I’m just so grateful to have all these like different opportunities,” it remains unclear how this incident will affect the overall camaraderie on set.
As the series progresses, viewers are eager to see how the storyline unfolds, particularly with the competition for the Crooked Cup and the challenges posed by The Nameless. The show’s unique premise and diverse cast have generated significant interest, making it a topic of conversation among audiences.
With BBC The One Show airing weekdays from 7pm on BBC One and iPlayer, fans can expect more insights into the cast and the series as it develops. However, details regarding the internal dynamics of the cast remain unconfirmed, leaving fans curious about future interactions.
