To ask all Chaletians to get ready for Madame's birthday?

[LonnyVonnyWilsonFrickett]

Pop to the splasheries my lambs and after you've brushed your hair till it shines we'll have a quick practice of 'I sing of Margaret so fair'.

Once we've finished casting the movie, that is....

Oooh, tophole! I vote for Who Is Sylvia after that.

... and then "Hark, Hark, the Lark" after that.

Will there be paper games? Are we allowed paper games at Madame's birthday?

Who's going to fall over the cliff so Joey can rescue them, and what vital bit of the picnic will be left behind?

I never said I was bringing the lemonade.

Me! I've already got a "weakness" in my ankle. Therefore I'm readily to fall!!

I am warming up with "Golden Slumbers." With some special milk as accompaniment - self-fulfilling prophecy!

I think Joey should be Michelle Dockery or Gemma Arterton. Rosamund Pike for Frieda.

Sorry I need closure from the casting. Rosalie dene, Jane horricks?

Don't worry about the lemonade Karens pies have jelly in them so that will take the edge of your thirst.

Oh Karen, Silvia Simms, apologies if she's dead.

Am I invited or do I have to stay at home cos of my "delicacy"?

Robin, obviously you will have to stay home with the hunners of babies.

And fear not, my casting couch is still open! Pizza is on its way but I'll try to update later (beats football)

Ah feck it, I'll take time by the fetlock and do it now: I think this is everyone...

Honeysuckle Weeks as Clem Barrass

How about Julie Walters for Nell Wilson?

Could we. It have an Irish actress for Biddy though? To overdo accent?

Hello, can I sneak in? I've been in the San for the last couple of threads on account of an unexplained delicacy that I have.

Matey has been eyeing me up since I got back so I may hide in here.

I have been practising with my golden voice.

There are no windows intact in a 20 mile radius.

iPad wine sentence fail.

What about Evvy?

I would like to suggest Rupert Penry Jones for Jack Maynard.

Ooh what about Duckface from 4 weddings and a funeral for Joey?

Loving the others, though have had to google some of the juniors.

I think Hugh Grant is a bit wimpy for the solid lump of comfort.
Arnie?? Jean Claude Van Damme?

or Jack from Lost (less solid but maybe too hot).
