Sir Bruce Bullerby
Sir Bruce Bullerby (David Ryall), known as the pit bull, is proprietor and editor-in-chief of The Clarion, a UK tabloid newspaper, who features in To Play The King and The Final Cut.
It is evident that Sir Bruce gained his knighthood with vigorous support for the Government's policies ("The pit bull has bitten quite a few legs in the cause," says Stamper) but his support wavers when the king raises issues of compassion, and then when Makepeace makes his bid for the leadership. In the former Urqhuart blackmails him with compromising photographs, while in the latter he tries (and fails) to bribe him with an implied offer of a peerage.
He does not feature at all in any of the novels.
