Quick question

Say you had an idea for a fun, upbeat and silly sitcom set in the seventies with three main male characters flatsharing in it - who would you cast, in an ideal world? Any ideas?

Ben Willbond would probably be perfect in that sort of thing.

David Mitchell, Justin Edwards would probably do that kind of thing quite well, if you wanted them middle-classers?

OMG! You've had my head spinning with this one. Too many to consider, but I will start by suggesting Rik Mayal, Ade Edmondson and Rowan Atkinson.

Guess it totally depends on the characters.

But for actors who have that 70s look then there's Rasmus Hardiker, Noel Fielding (bit obvious that one), also I could imagine Stephen Merchant looking very 70s (maybe it's the Darren Lamb polyester polo necks).

Capitals in topics please. Naughty Perry. *waggles finger*

Steve Merchant - good call

All too old for this I'm afraid

Can JLC act? He'd be perfect

See if you can get James May ;)

How about Ralf Little? Would have the added bonus of probably bringing around the demise of Two Pints;)

Julian Barratt is very '70s.

He already left the series.

Ahh, oh well, just goes to show that I'm not one of those people who slate it but secretly watch it;)

That's better than slating it without watching it, thus having no ground to base the slating on other than a bandwagon... :P

Obviously I have watched it, but when you know that something tastes like shit, you dont go back for seconds:)

cheers peeps, all v. helpful
