Anne Reid would be perfect but maybe slightly too old.

I see Elizabeth as more Helen Mirren than Judy Dench

jeff Goldblum as Ibrahim is a great call!

LaQuern · 18/11/2022 16:20

You see I can see Miriam Margoyles as Elizabeth

Lzzyisgod · 18/11/2022 16:21

I've always seen Celia Imrie in my mind

JaneJeffer · 18/11/2022 16:22

Good one @Lzzyisgod I love Celia Imrie

NamelessNancy · 18/11/2022 16:24

Penelope Wilton for Joyce please

Lzzyisgod · 18/11/2022 16:25

Shes exactly who sprung to my mind when I read it . Looks innocent but inquisitive and secretly highly intelligent 😂

pippinsleftleg · 18/11/2022 16:31

NamelessNancy · 18/11/2022 16:24

Penelope Wilton for Joyce please

Yes!

ChesterDraws4Sale · 18/11/2022 16:34

Penelope Wilton for Joyce please

Spot on! Penelope Wilton would be perfect for Joyce. I think of Elizabeth as dark and petite. Maybe Helena Bonham Carter?

SlashBeef · 18/11/2022 16:36

As I was reading it I was thinking of Helen Mirren for Elizabeth. Unsure of Joyce. I like the idea of Vinnie Jones for Roy 😄

Butteredtoast55 · 18/11/2022 16:37

I think they're looking for a younger cast to keep the franchise going so Kristin Scott Thomas could be Elizabeth and I picture Lesley Manville as Joyce.
I'm not sure about the men.

Jaffacakeorisitabiscuit · 18/11/2022 16:40

Eileen Atkins as Elizabeth

Jaffacakeorisitabiscuit · 18/11/2022 16:43

And perhaps Imelda Staunton as Joyce.

Butteredtoast55 · 18/11/2022 16:46

I can't not see Art Malik as Ibrahim even though I know he should be Egyptian. What about Chris, Donna and Bogdan?

FrankReynolds · 18/11/2022 16:48

I've always pictured Judith Keppel as Elizabeth, not sure why

Jaffacakeorisitabiscuit · 18/11/2022 16:48

Hugo Speer as Chris please

Ihaveaskedyouthrice · 18/11/2022 16:52

Penelope Wilton absolutely perfect for Joyce. Not sure re the others. Like the idea of Vinny Jones but he's younger than I'd imagine Ron. in contrast I think of Maggie Smith and Judi Dench as quite a bit older than the characters I picture in my head.

Bogdan, I could actually picture Vinny Jones from about 25 years ago.

FrankReynolds · 18/11/2022 16:57

Alun Armstrong for Ron

Ellyfinsmum · 18/11/2022 17:01

Penelope Wilton would be perfect for Joyce.

I think Nathalie Emmanuel would make a great Donna.

Arenanewbie · 18/11/2022 17:02

Agree with Helena Bonham Carter for Elizabeth and Penelope Wilton for Joyce.

BedTaker · 18/11/2022 17:03

Ooooh is it definitely going to be a film then?
