Only works if you mention the role, I think, unless
we're all film buffs or don't mind spending a lot of
time on Google.
Having just Googled, I now know that you're talking
about Steptoe & Son. OK. Where do you see them fitting
in? Not as Major Heroes, I hope, but in the colourful
low-life end of the spectrum, yes.
> PETER LORRE (in just about anything)
A quick Google later, I'm unimpressed. Did lots of
parts, I think I've seen at least some of them, and
he'd made no impression on long-term memory at all.

I still think I'd like to keep Tatius serious, but
Terry-Thomas as a lower-level Lunar of some sort,
fine.
Can we get Sean Connery in here somewhere? As an Orlanthi priest, perhaps? He's geting a bit old for an active role, but I want his voice... :)
