I think vinnie jones would make an amazing Ron. And Julie walters for Joan

Carolyn Martyns ( she was the head spook lady in killing eve ) would make a great Elizabeth

Clawdy · 19/11/2022 08:01

I'd like to see Maureen Lipman and Bill Nighy in it.

the80sweregreat · 19/11/2022 08:04

Bill Nighy would be good too

Yes!!

TicketToRideFan · 19/11/2022 10:00

Lesley Manville as Joyce
Stephanie Cole or Helen Mirren as Elizabeth.
sadly no longer with us, but I always imagine Warren Clark as Ron, so someone like him!

TicketToRideFan · 19/11/2022 10:01

Just seen Penelope Wilton suggested - superb!

TicketToRideFan · 19/11/2022 10:06

And Harriet Walter would be a fab Elizabeth.!

Could Kim Bodnia be Ron? Maybe too young.

downtonupton · 19/11/2022 10:41

Fiona Shaw as Elizabeth too

Sodonewiththisshit · 28/11/2022 15:30

downtonupton · 19/11/2022 10:41

Fiona Shaw as Elizabeth too

Yes! Can we have "Beardy Russian" from Homeland as Bogdan? Nigel Havers as Mark Waghorn?

Thursmurderclub · 05/12/2022 21:36

my comprehensive list!

Elizabeth - Shelia Hancock - classy and elegant but may kill you

Joyce is Una Stubbs - mrs Hudson in Sherlock!

Ibrahim - Om Puri I can’t unsee it

Ron - Ray winston obviously

Donna - Simona brown! Fierce and gorgeous like Donna!

Bogdan - he’s Lincoln burrows from prison break even though he’s American I just only see him as that actor

Chris - for some reason I picture him as jools holland but he just isn’t an actor

So Adrian Dunbar! Orrrr
Martin freeman maybe?

Stephen - Stephen fry! Or bill Nigh

Connie Johnson (book 2) - is Sheridan smith!

Sue Reardon book2 - Fiona shaw

Fiona clemence book 3- Emilia Fox

Mike waghorn - pierce brosnan

Jaffacakeorisitabiscuit · 18/11/2022 16:48

Hugo Speer as Chris please

Hubba hubba

Gardenerboo · 05/12/2022 21:41

Another vote for Stephanie Cole. I’d love that!

Thursmurderclub · 05/12/2022 21:41

I think Art Malik is too tall and thin I picture Ibrahim as shorter and cuddlier so I’m thinking Om puri!

Coxspurplepippin · 05/12/2022 21:47

Except Om Puri is no longer with us Sad

Cheguevarahamster · 05/12/2022 21:50

Letitia Wright for Donna
Helen Mirren for Elizabeth
Penelope wilton for Joyce
Ray Winstone for Ron
Ben Kingsley for Ibrahim
Robert graves for Chris
Bogdan?

Ch3wylemon · 05/12/2022 22:05

Penelope Wilton 200% Joyce.
Approve of Jeff Goldblum too.
I see Elizabeth as more elegant than some of the suggestions. Penelope Keith or Anglela Rippon would work better for me.
Ron - David Essex. Pretty Please David Essex.
Although I would accept Alexei Sayle.

Bill Nighy could be Stephen. Robert Glennister for Chris.

Anotherporkypie · 05/12/2022 23:01

Yes to Penelope Wilton ( Joyce) and Stephanie Cole (Elizabeth.)

a vote for Omid Dijalli as Ibrahim and Jim Broadbent as Ron
Maybe Denis Waterman as Ian Ventam . Would Orlando Bloom be too expensive as Bogdan?
Tom Courtney as Bernard.

Cheguevarahamster · 06/12/2022 08:15

Cheguevarahamster · 05/12/2022 21:50

Letitia Wright for Donna
Helen Mirren for Elizabeth
Penelope wilton for Joyce
Ray Winstone for Ron
Ben Kingsley for Ibrahim
Robert graves for Chris
Bogdan?

Rupert Graves. Doh.

ouchyoubiteybugger · 06/12/2022 08:21

I saw Joanna lumley as Elizabeth and John head as Ron

WinterLobelia · 06/12/2022 10:46

Bogdan- Goran Visnjic from ER days of old.

Sodonewiththisshit · 06/12/2022 18:04

Does it say in the book that Bogdan is not THAT good looking? In which case Goran V is out. As is Beardy Russian. But I'd love to see either or both of them again and am happy to suspend disbelief in order for that to happen. Richard O said they would cast young so no actors died before they had filmed all 4 films. I might be paraphrasing.

ThurzaMadge · 16/02/2023 23:42

The Swedish- Lebanese actor Fares Fares is who l picture as Bogdan when listening to the audio books. Although sadly l think he may be slightly too old for the role now. Shame! There must be a suitable Polish actor out there.

thinykinny87 · 18/02/2023 00:21

I think bogdan needs to be be early 30s
