Tubgate: Cunningham's Scrap

Tubgate: Cunningham's Scrap which had the working title of Bab: The Man Who Took Too Much is a short film and series pilot written and directed by Murdoch. In November 2016, the casting of Scott Kyle and Gregor Firth was announced.[2] The pair played alongside each other in Outlander, where Kyle played Ross and Firth played the role of Kincaid, two of the men of Lallybroch, both of whom Murdoch met whilst working on Outlander.[2]

Kyle spoke of the film on Radio Saltire in January 2017, saying:

"I met Fraser on Outlander... he gave me a leaflet for Bab: The Man Who Took Too Much - he was fundraising for it... I am going to play Bab - the man who took too much... Bab's dad owns a scrapyard and his dad takes a heart attack and is in the hospital. Bab is now in charge of the scrapyard and his dad always said 'always take a wee bit from the tax man but always give something back' and Bab is the man who took too much. So he has been taking and taking and taking. It is all about how Bab has ran the scrapyard and dealt with the pressures, and the melting pot of recent affairs where there has been many higher profile businesses not paying their ways" [3]
