Full casting is here, and includes Benedict Cummerbatch, Bernard Cribbins, Christopher Lee and a lot of other very familiar names.

Looks interesting. I actually enjoyed the TV version some years ago, but have a feeling that I might have been in a minority!

I enjoyed it! Looking forward to this, too.

I loved it - went to a lot of trouble to get it on DVD from the USA before they finally put out the UK version.

Andrew Sachs, Tony Head and Bernard Cribins in the same production.

Now where's that Buffy/Who/Fawlty Towers crossover... Possibly with Lord Summerisle too...

Between that and River Pond turning up in NCIS we seem to have a plethora of crossover possibilities.

River Pond? It was Melody Pond/Rover Song surely?. Missed her in NCIS though, but we no longer have sky so I haven't seen season 9 yet.

In other news, I heard Tony Head on radio as the evil Mr Gently Benevolent last night, in the new series of Bleak Expectations. I hate to think of anyone doing a crossover with that .

Sorry, River Song indeed.

Benedict Cumberbatch doing Neil Gaiman? I have a friend who will need to lie down for a bit after I tell her the news.

He's playing the angel Islington. Let the squee-ing commence...
