The perferct actors for the parts of The Witches

[Lady Vetinari]

In the cartoon Wyrd Sisters

Granny Weatherwax was voiced by the same actress that played Richard Wilson's wife in One Foot In The Grave - Anne Crosbie could do the live one I feel.

Nanny Ogg was voiced by Daisy in Keeping Up Appearances - I can't think of her name.

Magrat was voiced by Jane Horrocks ...

Jane Horrocks I think would make a perfect Magrat ... though Emma Chambers is absolutely brilliant. I love her in Notting Hill and Vicar of Dibley... though for age Siobhan Hayes would be good.

 

[Jan Van Quirm]

In the cartoon Wyrd Sisters Nanny Ogg was voiced by Daisy in Keeping Up Appearances - I can't think of her name.

It was Judy Cornwell - she's brilliant

I LOVE this thread...

who said patricia routlege (sp) ? That is an amazing idea, a woman with talent way beyond mrs bucket. (My partner mentioned her as a possible nanny ogg the other night funnily enough).

I posted this in the toher thread so here goes again:

Ooo... this is a difficult one!

I think my Granny Weatherwax would have to be Linda Hunt (http://uk.imdb.com/name/nm0001373/) as she is phenominal as Hetty in NCIS:LA. She has the correct amount of wit and intelligent about her, but god help anyone who crosses her! My only problem is the obvious one of her height. I always pictured Granny as a rather big and forboding character.

As for Nanny Ogg - thats the one that would clinch it for me - she is my favourite character so it'd have to be perfect. Although I have no idea who i'd have! I like the idea of Pam Ferris, but is she crude enough?

A bit of a random one, but I'd love to see Jennie McAlpine (Fiz from Coronation Street) play Agnes Nitt... I think she'd be perfect!

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Alyson Hannigan for Magrat! YESI THINK SHE WOULD BE GOOD FOR THAT PART. opps caps lock on.

Slightly off-topic, any thoughts on who would play Verence/Fool?

Rowan Atkinson>?

 

[pip]

A always thought of him as much younger than either of those could play.

 

[Bouncy Castle]

Me too. I thought of him as early 20s.

 

[pip]

its a hard one to call as i its hard to see past the fool thing but hes a very intelligent man in his own way.

 

[Bouncy Castle]

I wonder if Matt Smith might make a good Verence?

 

[polythenegirl]

Me too. I thought of him as early 20s.

Hmmm... What abotu the ginger one from Harry Potter? (I can't remember his name )

I reckon that could work.

Rupert Grint.

Actually, yes, I could see that working quite well.

Well everyone is going older with Magrat then maybe Verrence should be also be more mature?

Interesting

 

[ramtopsman]

Its a good thought for Rupert Grint

 

[Bouncy Castle]

If ever a human being was born to play a live action (so to speak!!) Death, it's gotta be Lance Reddick.

Or perhaps it's because I had a FringeFest at the weekend, and I'm now obsessed with the programme!!
