I'm even more excited for this now. I wonder when (or if) it will come to Australia.
Not just Sheen and Tennant, but Michael McKean, Miranda Richardson, Jack Whitehall, Nick Offerman and David Morrissey. Yayayayayayay!
Nick Offerman flew from South Africa to do one or two scenes. Backstage one of the chess girls (?) told him what a long way he came, for only a few lines; he said he'd have come twice the distance for half the lines - he liked the book so much.
There's one thing that puzzles me - David Morrissey plays the captain of a pleasure cruiser? I don't remember this. :\ Does anyone know?
