About
Paul Rose built a cult following as Mr. Biffo, the sharp-witted editor steering Digitiser through its entire run as British gaming's weirdest Teletext phenomenon. Born in 1971, the screenwriter later pivoted to children's television, earning BAFTA nominations for his work. Capricorn energy: deadpan, meticulous, allergic to hype.

Biography
Paul Rose, known online as Mr. Biffo, is a British screenwriter. He was born in 1971. Rose edited Digitiser, the Teletext-based video games magazine that ran between 1993 and 2003—a cult artifact that mixed irreverent humor with genuine gaming coverage in a format most people have forgotten existed. After Digitiser's closure, Rose transitioned to children's television writing, earning BAFTA nominations for his work. As a screenwriter, Rose works in a field that demands both narrative structure and dialogue precision. His Capricorn birth sign aligns with his methodical editorial voice and long-game commitment to niche audiences. Life-path 2 suggests a collaborator and peacemaker—fitting for someone who built community in the margins of mid-90s British media.
