Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]

Ricky was one of the most popular individuals in the community, with everyone following him. He changed his name from Richard Coombes to Ricky September when he reached 50,000 subscribers. Despite his celebrity status, he spent most of his time with his Dot off, disconnected from his Bubble, spending this time reading and learning things. As a result, he knew how some of the systems of Finetime worked.

As the Dots rebelled against their creators using the man-traps, Ricky met his end after being betrayed by Lindy Pepper-Bean, her Dot piercing through his head when she made him its target by revealing that his original surname came before hers in the alphabet.

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]

Ricky September was originally called "Ricky Spanish" in an earlier version of the script. His name was changed after Russell T Davies was reminded that the name had already been used prominently in an episode of the animated sitcom, American Dad![1]
