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....

Sorry Veta, I forgot about you for a moment, you must have been out getting kidnapped by a madman.

Winona Ryder for Veta.

MrsJoe It should be an Irisher for Biddy but then I kind of like the idea of a non-Irish person doing a really bad Irish accent as a sort of casting couch in-joke.

Actually Natalie Former would be a brilliant Biddy too.

Someone said Michelle Dockery for moi (Joey) I think she has the height and build and a fairly deep voice. Never heard her singing but she could be right for the role. So long as it doesn't impact on her appearing in Downton as that must not be delayed at all... :)

Former? Sorry I meant Dormer. My kindle doesn't like the Chalet School names.

Setphasers (are you in the wrong timeline Grin) crossposted but love the idea of Rupert Penry Jones for Jack. It would explain the ginger running through the family.

I think I remember Michelle Dockery singing in Downton when they do a concert for the injured officers? If her voice isn't good enough we can always dub that bit

I always pictured Cher in her Sonny and Cher days as Jo - all that long black hair that she could wear in earphones :)

joey calm down my dear Rupert could be your solid lump. Mind tha Could he your uterus to be honest.

Michelle Dockery isn't right for Joey. Stand by Gina Mckey.

Rosalie dene as Jane horrocks,

Like Rupert for Jack and stand by Hugh bonniville for Jem,

Diane Kruger is perfect for Marie!

What about Dervla Kirwan for grown-up Biddy? (To be sure etc...)

Germaine Greer for Miss Wilson?

Oh, and Gwyneth Paltrow for Yseult.

Natalie Dormer is a little puckish for my liking. Rachel Weisz for me. Amanda Burton for Miss Annersley.

Dervla Korean is perfect for Biddy and yy to Gwyneth for Yseult. Wonderfully annoying.

Sorry for gate crashing the thread everyone. It's fab.

Ooh, and Samantha Ronson as Jack Lambert.

I'm getting overexcited about this thread. I need special milk.
