Is David Braben really Roy Cropper ?

Just watched tonights Corrie ( under duress )......There's definatly something there ...:smilie:

I'm Flabbergasted Sync, Corrie? have you no self respect?

Nicodemus · May 17, 2013

Hmmm.. why do I get the feeling that DB may just create a special Elite hellhole just for you for stating that?

Not my fault !!! The mrs watches it

Besides I edited a little addition to the post

@Nicodemus...Lets hope they don't start calling him Roy at work.....or it will be a black hole

I can see where you are coming from except that smiles are opposite.

Looking at the pics it isn't quite the same....but when Roy Cropper starts talking and some of his expressions...I just see DB doing an update

synchromesh · May 18, 2013

This is a little more like it ... But once the similar inflictions are added and you just see roy...its surprising

And they do seem to share the same taste in jumpers

The general shape of the face is enough resembling. We can not say otherwise. But I prefer the original, because he makes the game.

Wow, that's scary...

No wonder kill streaks were proposed...

You are not wrong.. that is Ted Bundy!!

Hey folks, I don't think comparing David to a real life serial killer is appropriate. Roy Cropper? Well that's one thing, but Ted Bundy is a step too far.

The Roy Cropper thing was meant as a joke.....I think people just started looking for DB likenesses....I don't think the Ted Bundy was meant as offensive...just as a look alike....

I don't think DB looks anything like Roy Cropper at all:

That's because he's David Coulthard's dad!

I'm sure no one means to cause offense but please try to keep it respectful. I doubt many of you would be happy to be likened to a serial killer, even if it is just by appearance.

I have exactly the same real-life name as a serial killer.

I think it's hilarious.
