I think the tweeter of the teaser must have been a Withnail fanboy, because as cool as Richard E Grant is I would not call him iconic. Kinda disappointed to be honest - I had sort of assumed they'd landed someone with an Oscar or with a legendary career behind them.
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Although I'd rather see him in a multi-Doctor special so we could have a mini Withnail & I reunion with Paul McGann...*giggles*
However, if the theory about this year's Xmas special is true (that it's based on The Nutcracker), then wouldn't Richard E. make a fantabulous Herr Drosselmeyer?!
I like him but I'm with everyone else who is thinking "Iconic? Really??"
But then the_willows and I just stupidly got ourselves excited throwing out guesses yesterday, and somehow settled on Christopher Lee, and we were ready to make all the Scaramanga jokes.
We'll have to work on that. (I do highly recommend the 6 Scarlet Pimpernel stories he did in the 90s, half of them with Elizabeth McGovern as Mrs Percy)
There's always Withnail & I jokes...
or Posh Nosh jokes. David Tennant played his gay lover/tennis instructor on that!
