I'm afraid I've never seen her in anything apart from Waiting for God.

Brian Blessed looks like a good candidate.

Oh Come on people! Stephen Fry would be brilliant. Hasnt anyone seen Gormenghast? He's perfect.

An even better question to ask is who would play the Bursar. Chuckle.

Graham Crowden I like as a suggestion.

What about Simon Callow? He's got that natural Ridcully pomp and gusto.

Yes! I'll go for Simon Callow! Although I did put John Cleese in the poll. John Cleese is a little bit too tall and manic.

I thought of Brian Blessed too - Mostly from his role in Flash Gordon. He has such a hearty voice.

He's now the official voice of the breakfast show on Virgin Radio UK, it's really weird to hear his voice every morning at work !

As for Robin Williams... I think I've just seen him in too many crappy movies, a bit like Jim Carey, as much as I know he can be a good actor, I'm just allergic to the idea... you would have to sneak him into the film and not tell me so it would be a surprise and I wouldn't see it coming...

I like the idea of Bill Hunter as Ridcully. Heres a pic...

I still think John Cleese would be a good choice. He might be tall and skinny but movie people can do something about that like theyre doing in harry potter. He is a really great actor

Tho Bill Hunter looks like a good choice if he can pull off the manner.
