I miss The Castle, it was demolished and turned into a car park for an office block, and it is astonishing just how small that car park is - all those fun nights, turned into a slab of tarmac. :(

#TIL that the same actor that played Ka D'Argo in Farscape had previously played Steve Kerrigan in The Castle. His name is Anthony Simcoe and he's a very talented actor. His portrayals of these two characters were so distinct I didn't even notice it was the same actor, although the total head makeup on D'Argo definitely helps.
