Date: 2011-03-16 08:06 pm (UTC)I saw Paul Darrow play Vimes on stage in Guards! Guards! He was good too. And me being an old-school Blakes 7 fan it was a like a total fandom mashup in my brain.
Let the casting speculation begin! Imagine the auditions for Nobby! OMG! "Sorry, you're not quite disgusting enough."

Oh man, so many really great character parts there, which is one reason I love Pratchett's writing so much.
