Colin the guy who kept getting injured by Brittas ? Hummm... yeah, at least he'd be in the right age-span for Nobby, whereas Tony Robinson wouldn't be any more...
I was just reading Night Watch, and Vimes describing young Nobby, saying he wasn't actually bad, that he'd steal small things, kick people in tender places, and generally be daft, but that "you could trust him with your life, although you'd be stupid to trust him with a dollar", so I guess that settles the evil-nobby question
