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...
Ahh doon't reeallly kneew if she'll be any good.
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
If it's up there I'll give you the money myself.
>The most bizarre Who villain ever?
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?
I think her son 'Gary' would make a far better villan, and he can sing...
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.
I thought Maureen Lipman was terrible as a villain.
scarier than most of them
And to be fair, Maureen wasn't the REAL villain, just the face the villain used.
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.
