Default Hogfather cast news!!!! Teatime and Susan - 03-29-2006, 20:43

Okay so I'm new but hardly new to Pterry's works.


So I've been lurking a few months now and was going to join when I had the time.

Well!!!! That was until I found this little nugget of news and that was when I decided to join because you should always join a messageboard with a flourish I would say.

I know who's playing Teatime (maybe some of you already know) and Susan, but I've been looking for cast news for weeks now and so far zip.

So to my delight I stumbled on this little link at Digtal Spy which led me to this page on lspace.org

http://www.lspace.org/about-terry/biography.html

which had this near near the bottom:

Quote:
Filming is to start in February in Romania on a two-part four-hour mini-series adaptation of Hogfather (by MOB Films) for transmission in the UK on Sky1 next Christmas. It will be live-action with CGI, with Ian Richardson as Death, Sir David Jason as Albert, Marc Warren as Teatime and Michelle Dockery as Susan.
So I did a search on google for Marc Warren (I know who he is I just wanted more evidence to try and confirm it and found his official page with this little gem on their forum

Quote:
HURRAY!!! Just recieved confirmation from Marc's agent Gilly Sanguinetti that Marc *will* be doing a Terry Pratchett film for TV! Details will be added ASAP.
He will be playing Teatime and it will be a live film with CGI. It's a bad guy role....but not his usual baddie! This sounds reeeeeeally interesting! Thanks AGAIN to our Press Secretary Robina, for doing research on this one
Well yes, thankyou Robina and Minx for posting that one.

So there you have it Marc Warren will be Teatime.

Now I know some of you haven't a scooby who this guy is (and some of you do. Er...scooby means scooby doo - clue) but let me tell you that this is perfect casting because, well you know the rumours flying about that it would be Malcolm McDowell, well Marc is a deadringer for McDowell but with about 30 years shaved off.

He can be seen playing Danny Blue on the BBC's Hustle.

I'll try and dig out a few pics. You won't believe the likeness.

As for Michelle Dockery I will be back with some info about her soon.

Not a bad first post if I do say so myself

I have to agree. They really look related, and would both make a good Teatime!

Oh, and don't be surprised if someone pushes this thread into the "Death Books" - forum. It [i:bc9e525695]might [/i:bc9e525695]happen.

Also, welcome.
I'm sure your research skill will lead you to the Introduction thread in [i:bc9e525695]no [/i:bc9e525695]time.

I did not have a clue who he was but I did recognize him from an episode of Doctor Who.

He's good in it.
Very strange voice.

He has a great acting range and yes the voice was strange but that's what makes the character, not what we were expecting.

The two do have a similar look.


If DEATH was available, I'd marry him!
