Could be alright - Maureen Lipman made a great Who villain in the second series, after all. Much more promising than whatever titfluff they've got lined up to play Agyeman's brother...

[Buttonman]

Ahh doon't reeallly kneew if she'll be any good.

[The Amstor Computer]

Heh. I can't read/hear that now without thinking of Les Dennis shouting it out during sex in "Extras"...

;-)

Oh god, not more stunt casting... they'll be having Brucie next or bringing back Dodd

[Buddy]

If it's up there I'll give you the money myself.

I Don't really know

"Oh god, not more stunt casting..."

Can it really be considered 'stunt casting' if the person concered isn't really *that* well-known?

[LARF]

I think her son 'Gary' would make a far better villan, and he can sing...

[DavidXBrunt]

Is it stunt casting? Yeah, she played an iconic soap character but she also has a large body of work behind her, including 'Best Newcomer' at some British Film Awards or another last year.

And Mark Gatiss? That's just won me a tenner. I said he'd be acting in this run as he wasn't writing a script.

[Tiplodocus]

I thought Maureen Lipman was terrible as a villain.

[Max Kon]

scarier than most of them

[Misanthrope]

And to be fair, Maureen wasn't the REAL villain, just the face the villain used.

[Adrian Bamforth]

The idea of Lipman's character was pretty good, if a bit difficult to integrate into the scenes, though Tilda Swinton or Alex Kingston would have done it better.
