Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Barnaby Edwards directed AND acted as two characters while managing live technical elements—absolute chaos agent behavior.
The Bucca draws from genuine Cornish mining folklore, where knockers and spirits were blamed for cave-ins and credited for rich seams. The show weaponizes real exploited labor history against sci-fi imperialism.
